Police Scotland are appealing for the public’s help in tracing two girls who went missing from Glasgow yesterday.
They are continuing their enquiries and appealing for the assistance of the public in an effort to find the girls aged 14 and 16 years, who went missing from Springburn Park at around 1600 hours yesterday.
Lilly McLaughlin-Clear, aged 14 years, is from Castle Douglas, but is currently staying at a unit at Stobhill Hospital. She is described as white, slim build, 5ft 4” in height with shoulder-length brown curly hair. She was wearing a blue hooded top, black leggings and silver trainers.
Nicole Crossley, aged 16 years, is from Gartcosh but is also currently staying at a unit at Stobhill Hospital. She is described as white, medium build, 5ft 4” in height with long auburn hair. She was wearing a blue hooded top and blue jeans.
Inspector Craig Walker from Maryhill Police Office said today:
“The girls were out in Springburn Park when they made off from staff around 4pm. Both are known to visit Sprinburn and Glasgow city centre and enquiries are ongoing in those areas to try and trace both girls.
“Officers have been able to establish that the girls stayed at a youth hostel in Edinburgh city centre last night and then withdrew money from a cash machine in Princes Street at 1000 hours today.
“We are continuing to work with our colleagues in Edinburgh to see if they are still in the area however it is also possible that they have travelled elsewhere and so I would urge everyone to keep an eye out and let us know immediately if they think they may have seen Lilly or Nicole.
“I would urge anyone who has any information on their whereabouts to contact Police Scotland on 101.”
