POLICE are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of a 14-year-old girl who has gone missing from a foster care home in Maidstone.

Janice Scott vanished on July 18. She has been spotted a couple of times since then in the Maidstone area, but there have been no confirmed sightings since July 24 when she was seen in the nearby village of Hollingbourne.

Janice who turned 14 only days ago, originally comes from the Southwark area of London which is where police believe she may currently be living.

There have been two sightings of someone matching her description at Liverpool Street Station and Camden High Street.

She is described as being white and of slim build, with light brown shoulder length hair, blue eyes and 4ft 11in tall.

Posters are being distributed to try and locate her whereabouts.

Anyone who believes they may know where Janice is should contact police in Mid Kent on 01622 604180 or contact the UK National Police Missing Persons Bureau on 020 7230 4029.
