THE family of a schoolgirl missing for more than five weeks have appealed for help from the public.

Charlotte Holloway, 14, was last seen at the family home in Teesdale Road, Fleet Estate, Dartford, on July 1.

When she disappeared she was wearing dark blue jeans, a pink T-shirt and navy blue Reebok trainers. She has brown, shoulder-length hair, which she wears in a pony tail, and dark brown eyes.

There have been sightings of her in Longfield since July 1 but she has not made contact with her worried family.

PC Steve Mannerings, of North Kent Police, said: “I would urge her to contact either the police or her family to confirm she is safe and well.”

Anyone who can help is asked to call police on 01474 565095.
