POLICE are appealing for help from the public to find a missing girl.

Maezee Ranson, 16, a Sparsholt College student, was last seen leaving her home in Adelaide Road in Southampton after she said she was going out for a walk at around 9pm (December 22).

Miss Ranson is described as being 5'5 with dark hair possibly worn in a bun. She was last seen wearing a dark coloured Superdry coat and three-quarter-length light blue jeans with black, red and white trainers.

Officers are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare. They have stated she also has links with Salisbury.

Anyone with information should call Hampshire Police on 101.
