Police are appealing for help to find a teenager who's been reported missing from her home in Lanarkshire.

Alicia Martin, who's 15 and has Narcolepsy and Aspergers, was last seen at her home in Lairs Farm, Blackwood, Lanarkshire, at around 3am on Monday morning.

She is described as white, 5 ft 4 in height, of slim build, with auburn hair, brown eyes and a freckled complexion.

It is not known what she was wearing other than possibly black leggings.

Sergeant Ian Scott, Larkhall Police Office, said: “When Alicia’s mother went to wake her up around 11 am this morning, she wasn’t in her room. Family searched for her, however, when they couldn’t find her, police were contacted.

“She has never been missing before so her disappearance is of great concern to her family and police.

“We don’t believe she has any money or a mobile with her. Although the farm is not remote, she still would have to have walked short distance to get to Blackwood or away from the home.

“Officers have searched the area for her and continue to do so, however, so far, there have been no sightings.

Anyone who either knows where she is or who can assist officers with their enquiries in being asked to contact Larkhall Police Office via 101.
