Police are appealing for the public’s help to locate a missing teenager from Newham who hasn’t been seen in nearly two weeks.
Fourteen-year-old Santana was last seen in the Lewisham area on Tuesday, 1 April, and officers say they are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare.
The appeal was issued by the Newham branch of the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) on Saturday, urging anyone who may have seen Santana or knows where she is to come forward.
“MISSING | Can you help us find 14-year-old Santana from #Newham? She was last seen in #Lewisham on Tuesday, 1 April and we are concerned for her welfare,” police said in a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter).
Santana’s description has not yet been made public, but officers say any sightings or information, no matter how minor it may seem, could be vital.
Members of the public are asked to call 101 or message @MetCC on X, quoting reference 01/7343525/25, if they have any information that could assist the search.
