The 17-year-old is described as white, around 5’7” tall, of slim build, with long brown hair and blue coloured eyes.

Chief Inspector Neil Doleman said: “It’s now been three days since Layla was last seen and we are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare.

“As well as the Northwich area, Layla is known to have links to Ellesmere Port, Winsford, and West Yorkshire.

“I'd urge anyone who thinks that they may have seen Layla since she went missing, or knows where she is, to get in touch. I would also like to appeal directly to Layla, to ask her to get in touch.

“I’d also remind people that it is a serious offence to knowingly harbour a missing child, and anyone found to commit such an offence could face a custodial sentence."

Information can also be reported anonymously, via Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.
