POLICE are growing increasingly concerned about the whereabouts of missing 14-year-old girl Leighanne Clayden.

Leighanne goes to school at the Riverside Centre, in Queen's Drive, but lives in the St George area of Bristol and travels from Bristol Temple Meads station daily.

She was last seen between 1.45pm and 2pm on April 21 in the St Phillips area of Bristol.

She previously went missing before Easter but returned home after seeing an appeal in the Advertiser.

It is believe she may have left Bristol and be in the south west with a man.

Det Con John Roth of Avon and Somerset police said: "Due to her age and the fact that she might be with an older man we are very concerned for her welfare.

"We would ask her to get in touch with us."

She is 5ft 7ins with long, wavy dark hair and brown eyes.

She was wearing a black zip-up Jasper Conran jacket with a fur collar, a black shirt with three-quarter length sleeves and a velcro front, blue jeans with turn-ups and white trainers with grey stripes.

She was carrying a small black bag and wearing large silver hoop earrings and a rope bracelet.

Anyone with information should call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
