⚠️ We are appealing for the public’s help to trace a teenage girl who has gone missing from #AbbotsLangley. Rikki, aged 16, was last seen at around 8pm on Thursday 15 October leaving her home address. She is described as being approximately 5ft 5ins tall and of slim build with shoulder-length, multi-coloured hair with blonde streaks. It is likely that Rikki will be wearing a hoodie with jeans or trousers, and officers are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare.
