Police are appealing for help to trace a 15-year-old who has gone missing from her home in Birmingham.

Leah Musgrove was last seen at her house in Starbank Road, Small Heath around 6pm on 22 August.

She left to go to some nearby shops, but did not return.

Police and her family are concerned for her welfare due to her young age and vulnerability.

She is described as being white with ginger shoulder length hair, with blonde tips.

She was wearing a grey three quarter length dress with a silver number 8 digit in the centre, tan tights and black converse trainers and a thin black and brown jacket.

Police state anyone with information about her whereabouts should call on 101 ext 844 3111.
