POLICE are appealing for help from the public to trace a missing Newcastle woman.

Amy Potter, 19, of Fawdon Lane in Fawdon, was reported missing yesterday evening after concerns were raised for her welfare.

An investigation to trace her is ongoing and police believe she may have travelled to the Manchester area.

Both police and her family are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare and so officers are now appealing for help from the public.

Amy is described as tanned, around 5ft 6in tall, very slim build and with long brown hair. She was last seen wearing light blue ripped jeans and carrying a black holdall.

Amy, or anyone who knows her whereabouts, is asked to contact Northumbria Police on 101 quoting log 1312 18/07/17 or by calling 101 ext 69721.
