CONCERN is mounting for a teenage girl who has been missing since the weekend.
Police have issued a re-appeal for information and say Sophie Naylor was “very upset” on the day she was last seen.
The 16-year-old has been missing from the Dumbarton area since Saturday, October 20.
She was last seen at 3pm on the A82 road near Milton Brae and is described as white, 5ft 4, very slim build, blue eyes and collar length brown hair which she usually wears in a ponytail.
She normally wears glasses and has piercings above her right eye, lip and ears.
When last seen, she was wearing a dark blue thigh length jacket with a hood with a faux-fur trim, washed out denims and white training shoes.
Chief inspector Scott Carlin at Dumbarton Police Station said: “We do not believe Sophie has any money or a mobile phone with her and know she was very upset on Saturday when she was last seen and didn’t say where she was going.
“Police, as well as her family and friends, just want to know she is safe and well and urge anyone who has seen her or anyone who knows of her present whereabouts to contact us immediately.
“Sophie is originally from the Bo’ness area and we have been liaising with British Transport Police, bus companies and taxi companies in case she has made her way back there.
“So far, we have received a number of unconfirmed sightings and are following up information that has been provided to us.
“I also appeal directly to Sophie to make contact with either her family and friends or police to let us know that she is safe.”
Anyone with information that could assist in tracing Sophie is asked to contact police at Dumbarton via 101 quoting Incident number 2506 of Saturday, October 20, 2018.
