Search for teen missing 'with no phone' enters second week as police make plea

Police have made a desperate plea to a teenage girl who has been missing with no phone for nearly two weeks.

Angel, aged 17, was last seen by police in Hatfield on Tuesday 15 July, with further sightings on Wednesday 16 and Friday 18 July. Police are growing concerned for her welfare and have urged her "you are not in any trouble, we just want to make sure you’re okay and safe."

Police believe she has no phone with her and has no access to banking. She was last seen wearing an oversized puffer jacket, black McKenzie jogging bottoms with white writing and black Fila trainers.

Angel is known to frequent the Parkhouse Court area of Hatfield. She may have also travelled to Bedfordshire or London, although may now be further afield. Angel also has links to Luton in Bedfordshire, Harlow in Essex and Southampton in Hampshire.
