Laila Frank-Gore, aged 15, was reported missing having left her address in Wyke Regis at around 4pm on Friday 14 July 2023.

She is described as being of slight build with long mousey blonde hair and was wearing a black hooded top with Mickey Mouse on the front and a white hooded jacket with images of the Rug Rats, as well as light blue jeans and white trainers.

“I would urge anyone with information regarding Laila’s whereabouts to please contact us.

“I also want to make a direct plea to Laila if you see this – please get in touch with us or your family and let us know where you are. We just want to make sure that you are all right.”
