Surrey Police is growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of a missing 15-year-old from Caterham.

Natasha Sandford was last seen at around 10.20am on Sunday, 10 August in the Foxon Lane area of the town wearing jeans and a hooded top.

It is out of character for Natasha to go this length of time without making contact with friends or family and officers are urging anyone who has information on her whereabouts to share this information with them. It is believed Natasha may have travelled to the Croydon area to stay with friends.

Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Tristan Hardiman, said: "I would urge Natasha or anyone who knows her whereabouts to make urgent contact with Surrey Police.

"If Natasha is reading this I would like to reassure her that she is not in any trouble, we simply want to ensure she is safe and well. This can be done either by contacting Surrey Police directly on 101 or by calling or texting the charity Missing People on 116 000."

Natasha is described as a white girl, around 5ft 4ins in height, of average build with very long fair hair which she usually ties up.

Anyone who can help officers locate Natasha is urged to contact Surrey Police on 101.
