Police fear a 15 year old - missing from her home in Edinburgh - may have left the country.

Sara Anghel, originally from Romania, left her home on Walter Scott Avenue at around 4pm yesterday, and told her family she was heading to Cameron Toll Shopping Centre.

The teenager hasn't been heard from since then.

Detectives believe she may have travelled to the Nottingham area with a male - but no details have been released on who that person may be.

They've been in contact with port authorities to try to work out if the pair have made moves to travel abroad.

Sara is described as 5ft 4ins tall with a slim build, blonde shoulder-length hair and a dark complexion. She was wearing a brown leather jacket with a fur collar, a black and white knee-length dress and a pink handbag.

Inspector Bob Innes said:"It is extremely unlike Sara to leave home without telling her loved ones where she is going, and even more out of character for her not to return.

"We are therefore very eager to trace her quickly and ensure she is safe.

"Anyone who may be in her company or who has information as to Sara's current location please contact police immediately.

"I would also urge Sara to get in touch with her family, friends or with police to tell us where she is and that she is alright."
