A 12-year-old girl from west London has been missing for more than three days, police have said.
Detectives are seeking the public's help in tracing Santana Hailstones, from Kensington, whose disappearance has been described as "out of character."
She was last seen leaving her mother's home in Kensington, west London, at 11.50am on Saturday.
The youngster has not been seen since and her family and friends have not heard from her.
Police said she was wearing a red and green Morocco football shirt with the number two on the back and the name 'Hakimi', and a dark-coloured puffa jacket.
She was also wearing black Adidas tracksuit bottoms with pink stripes, white/cream Air Jordan trainers, and was carrying a pink Nike backpack with a Nike Air Jordan logo on it.
