A 14 year-old girl who travelled to Dalmeny Railway Station around 8.15 pm last night has not been seen since she was spotted there after alighting from the train.
Police Scotland is asking for urgent public assistance to help find Jasmine Macquaker from Edinburgh.
Concern is growing for the young girl who is believed to have travelled from Waverley Station where she boarded a service bound for Dalmeny just after 8:00pm. Police are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen Jasmine at any point of this journey.
An extensive search operation involving partner agencies is now underway, which is being concentrated in the Dalmeny area.
Jasmine is described as approximately 5ft 5ins tall, slim build with long dark straight hair that is shoulder length. She was last seen wearing a waist length turquoise Rab branded jacket, dark grey jeans, grey plimsolls which have a flower pattern.
Anyone who has seen Jasmine is asked to come forward.
Inspector Nick Young who is based at Gayfield said: “It’s out of character for Jasmine to go off on her own without telling anyone and we want to find her as quickly as possible.
“An extensive search effort is now underway involving specialist teams and partner agencies. We are also liaising with Jasmine’s family and offering them any support we can.
“At this stage of our inquiry we believe Jasmine boarded a train at Waverley Station in Edinburgh bound for Dalmeny. We are carrying out various lines of inquiry around these locations but I’d be very keen to hear from anyone who saw or perhaps spoke to the teenager at any point of this journey.
“Likewise, I’d ask anyone who seen her any time after 5pm on Sunday to please contact police immediately.”
Those with information can contact Police Scotland on 101 or speak to any officer.
