A 13-YEAR-OLD girl has gone missing from home.

Elise Donoghue is known to have boarded a train to Manchester last night and has contacts in the North West of England.

It is possible she may have travelled elsewhere since then and enquiries are ongoing with the rail network.

Elise was reported missing at 8.39pm yesterday after leaving her drama class at the York Theatre Royal on St Leonard's Place just before 8pm.

"It is not believed Elise has any money or access to a mobile phone, and she is considered vulnerable due to her age," said a North Yorkshire Police spokeswoman.

"Police enquiries have been ongoing to locate in York where it is known she has connections in the Fulford and Danesgate areas of the city.”

Elise is described as white, 5ft 2ins tall, blonde hair with a medium build. When she was seen she was wearing a grey hooded -top, black leggings, black Ugg boots and she carrying a shoulder bag.
