Missing teenager Courtney Booth who is thought to be with a 25-year-old man has been spotted on CCTV in Edinburgh.

The 15-year-old was reported missing at about 11pm on 22 September after failing to return home to her family in Stainforth, Doncaster.

She is described as slim with light or ginger hair, wearing jeans and trainers.

She had been in the Harrogate area before boarding a Scotland-bound train from York.

South Yorkshire Police said she was seen with Tom Fallon leaving Edinburgh Waverley train station on Sunday evening before catching the X62 bus from the city’s bus station at 7.30pm.

Supt Paul McCurry said: “This new information clearly leads us to believe that Courtney and Tom may still be in the Edinburgh area.

“Courtney has now been missing for nearly a week and we know this is entirely out of character.”
