POLICE are becoming increasingly concerned for a missing 17-year-old girl.

Lucy Morris from Harrogate is believed to be in the Leeds area.

The teenager has not been seen by her family in Harrogate since May 15 when it was believed she was heading to Leeds to stay with a friend.

Worryingly, there have been no text messages or social media contact from her since May 22, which her family says is out of character.

Lucy is described as white, 5ft 3in tall, blue eyes, slim build and she has shoulder-length blonde hair.

She has a tattoo on her left hand which says “blessed”.

It is not known what clothes she had on when she went missing.

As well as police enquiries in the Harrogate area of North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire Police is also assisting the missing person investigation in the Leeds area.

Anyone with information or possible sighting of a girl matching Lucy’s description, should call North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 1, and speak to the force control room. Quote reference number 12210122535.
