Police are appealing for help to trace a missing 15-year-old girl.

Esther Karomo travelled to Kings Cross railway station from Lincolnshire on Monday, arriving in London just after midnight.

A Met spokesman said: “Esther had spoken to her mother the previous evening but has not been seen since, and officers are concerned for her welfare.”

It is believed Esther travelled on a bus from Brixton at around 1.15pm on Tuesday heading towards Queens Park railway station in Brent.

Police describe Esther as a black female, around 5ft 3in tall and of a slim build.

She had brown braided hair with gold clips, and was wearing a dark hooded jacket possibly with a fur-lined hood, with dark-coloured leggings and trainers.

Anyone with information about where Esther is should call police on 101 quoting 18MIS008341.
