POLICE are appealing for help in finding a missing schoolgirl with links to Leytonstone.
Melissa Attard, 14, of Belvedere in south east London, vanished last Monday (October 29) and her family are growing increasingly concerned.
She was last seen at 3pm in Bexleyheath Broadway and was due to be picked up by her mum at Lewisham station later in the day - but she never showed up.
Melissa is known to frequent Leytonstone along with other areas of London including Islington and Lambeth.
She is described as white, approximately five foot five tall with a medium build.
She has long dark brown/auburn hair.
Melissa was last seen wearing a black long sleeve top, a tan bodywarmer, black leggings and knee-high boots. She was also carrying a black clutch bag.
A Met spokesman said: "Anyone who has seen Melissa or knows of her whereabouts should call police on 101, or the Missing Person Unit on 020 8284 9111."
