The best friend of a girl, who has gone missing from the Blackfen area, has appealed for help finding her.

Molly Elliott, 16, left her home in Groombridge Close at noon yesterday (October 22), but has since disappeared.

She was wearing dark blue denim jeans and a black fur coar, while her hair is described as curly.

She is known to frequent the Woolwich area.

Best friend Megan James, also 16, said: "Her mum is really upset, she's thinking the worst, that she could have been taken.

"She's not been on Facebook and her phone is switched off. 

"Her friends don't know anything, no one knows anything about where she might be."

Anyone with any information on Molly's whereabouts should call the police on 101.
