POLICE are appealing for help from the public in helping to trace a missing teenager who went missing nine days ago.

Antonia Daley left her house in Arcus Road, Downham, at around 8.15am last Tuesday August 21 after telling her mum she was going to put some rubbish out.

Her mother Kerry Dugmore thought she would return the same day and so waited until after her daughter's curfew time of 8.15pm to report her missing.

Since then she has put posters up and started a Facebook group which has around 1,200 followers.

Lewisham Police said they have conducted extensive enquiries but no one has heard from Antonia since her disappearance.

Antonia was wearing a black sweatshirt and blue jeans.

She is 5ft 2in tall, slim, with blue eyes and thick brown wavy hair.

Anyone with any information should call Ms Dugmore on 07846 121529 or Catford police station on 020 8284 5063.
