POLICE have launched an appeal to help find a teenager reported missing after leaving her home in Gloucester on Sunday.

It is believed that 15-year-old Kiera Brand may have travelled to Basingstoke, and so Gloucestershire Constabulary is working closely with colleagues at Hampshire Constabulary in the search to locate her. 

Kiera was last seen leaving her home in the Longlevens area between 3pm and 5pm on Sunday (March 21) and has not returned since which is out of character.

She is described as being 5ft 2ins, of a slim build, has dark brown eyes and shoulder length dark red hair.

When last seen she was wearing grey Harry Potter pyjamas but may now be wearing a black outfit, black boots with pink tartan detailing and carrying a floral rucksack.

A spokesperson for Gloucestershire Constabulary said: "Kiera may have travelled to the Basingstoke area and officers are looking into this with colleagues in Hampshire.

"Officers are asking anyone who has seen Kiera since Sunday to call 101 quoting incident 399 of 21 March.

"You can also give information through the Missing People charity on 116 000."
