POLICE are concerned for a 13-year-old girl who went missing from a care home on December 29.
Sussex Police say Toni Searle, originally from south east London, has family and friends in Greenwich and Plumstead.
She left the Crawley home last week and is believed to have travelled by train to London.
The teenager was seen at Plumstead Common around midday on December 30.
Toni is described as white, and 5ft 2in, with long dark brown hair.
She was wearing a black Adidas track suit with green trainers, gold earrings and gold bracelets.
Detective Inspector Stuart Hale said; "We believe Toni left the home of her own accord but are concerned for her safety and welfare because of her age and obvious vulnerability.”
Anyone with information should call police on 101.
