Gloucestershire Constabulary is appealing for help to locate a girl who has been reported missing since leaving an address in the Forest of Dean.

Concern is growing for the welfare of Cora, aged 12, who was last seen at around 8.30pm yesterday (Tuesday, September 13 ) at an address in Coleford.

She is thought to have links with the areas of Gloucester, Strensham, and the Malverns.

Cora is thought to be travelling on foot, possibly getting lifts or travelling via public transport.

She is described as being white, 5ft 4ins tall, with light brown hair worn in a bob.

She is thought to be wearing grey shorts with a red stripe down them, a grey v-neck sweatshirt and a beige bag with bumblebees on.

Police are appealing for anyone who has seen her or knows of her whereabouts to call Gloucestershire Constabulary on 101 and quote incident 498 of 13 September.

If you are with Cora at the time of phoning, please call 999.
