There's an urgent appeal for sightings of two 15-year-old girls from Coatbridge, Poppy O’Hara and Zoe King, who've been missing for nearly two days.

They were last seen in Townhead Road, Coatbridge, around 2.15 pm on Tuesday, 18th January, and it's feared they may have travelled to Glasgow.

Poppy is described as white, 5ft 3, slim build, dark brown hair wearing a black ‘Playboy’ hooded top, blue joggers and white shoes.

Zoe is described as white, 5ft 6, slim build, brown hair usually tied in a ponytail, wearing black leather jacket, black leather trousers and ‘Converse’ boots.

Police concerns

Sergeant Steven Brown, Coatbridge Police Station, said:

"The families of both girls are very concerned as it is really out of character for them to be missing for this length of time without making contact.

"It's thought that they may have travelled to Glasgow as they have links throughout Glasgow and Lanarkshire.

"Officers have been checking CCTV in an effort to trace both girls and would appeal to anyone who may have seen either of them or anyone has information of their present whereabouts to get in touch immediately."

Information can be passed to officers via 101 quoting reference number 1779 of Tuesday, 18 January, 2022.
