South Belfast teenage girl missing

Police have appealed for information about a missing 15-year-old schoolgirl from south Belfast.

Helen McCurry has not been in contact with her family since December 7. She was last seen in the Kitchener Street area.

Police described her as 5ft 10in tall, of medium build, with shoulder length brown hair, which she occasionally ties back in a ponytail. She has an English accent.

A police spokesperson said it is believed that Helen, who was described as a "vulnerable" person, may be in the company of two older men and that they are concerned about her wellbeing.

Police also think that she may have gone to the Republic of Ireland or to the UK mainland.

Anyone with information about Helen's whereabouts should contact 0845 600 8000.
