Police are urgently appealing for the public’s help to locate 14-year-old Hanna Balcer, who has been reported missing from her home in Barnet, North London.
Last Seen at New Barnet Train Station
Hanna was last seen at around 7.50pm on Thursday, 24 April at New Barnet train station, after leaving her home earlier that evening. She has brown hair, stands approximately 5ft 5ins tall, and was last seen wearing a dark tracksuit, black trainers, and carrying a black rucksack.
Authorities believe Hanna may be travelling across London and has known links to Barnet, Shepherd’s Bush, and Ladbroke Grove.
Police Appeal
Detective Inspector Mark Young, from the Met’s North West Missing Persons Unit, said:
“Hanna’s disappearance is completely out of character and her family are understandably incredibly concerned.
Local officers have been carrying out a number of enquiries to trace her, but we now urgently turn to the public for help.
While there is no suggestion she has come to any harm, as time passes, we are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare. We just want to bring her home safely.”
Anyone who has seen Hanna or who may have information about her whereabouts is urged to contact the police immediately by calling 101, quoting reference 24MIS013465.
Family’s Heartfelt Plea
Hanna’s mother, Izabela Balcer, made an emotional appeal:
“Hanna’s family are beside themselves with worry and desperate for information.
She is just 14 years old, and her father and I are naturally very concerned about her safety.
We urgently need the public’s help to find her.
Hanna, if you’re reading this, please pick up the phone.
Your family loves you, and we are anxious to make sure you’re all right.”
