New appeals for missing North Shields teenager

Police searching for a high risk missing teenager have today issued a fresh appeal for information.

Fifteen-year-old Seesha Dack left her North Shields home at 5pm on Sunday (August 30) before meeting a small group of friends at the Fish Quay in North Shields.

The friends went their separate ways at around 7pm but while the rest of the group returned home, Seesha has not been seen since.

Her phone has been switched off, leaving friends and family unable to contact her.

Seesha has not been reported missing to police before and her disappearance has been described as “out of character”.

On Monday police issued a public appeal to locate Seesha but she has not been located and has spent a second night away from home.

Superintendent Craig Metcalfe, of Northumbria Police, said: “Our officers have been combing the local area and have been making extensive enquiries in an effort to locate Seesha.

“Every phone call we receive reporting a possible sighting of Seesha is being investigated in depth and we thank the public for their support and continued vigilance.

“This is highly out of character for Seesha and her family and friends are worried sick.

“We are continuing to offer support to her family at this time and would ask anybody who has seen or heard from her, or might know her whereabouts, to please come forward, any information, no matter how insignificant you might think it is, could prove crucial to finding Seesha.

“If Seesha sees this appeal then we want you to know that you’re not in any trouble. We just want to make sure you are okay and can offer you any support you need.”

Seesha was last seen wearing black leggings and a khaki green jacket and she is described as white, 5’4 in height and with long brown hair.

Seesha, or anyone with information about her whereabouts, is asked to contact 101 as soon as possible quoting reference 947 300820.
