Rebecca Lindsay was last seen within her home address in West Pilton Crossway at around 8pm on Thursday 1 March. Since then, the 14 year old has failed to make contact with family or friends and enquiries are underway to locate her.
Rebecca usually socialises within the Tron Square and Hunter Square areas of the capital but she is comfortable travelling outside the city. She is described as white, 5ft 4ins tall with a slim build, long brown hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a black puffer style jacket, black baggy trousers and black shoes. It is also believed she was in possession of an overnight bag.
Anyone who can assist police in tracing Rebecca is asked to come forward. A spokesman said: “Rebecca is an independent, confident young girl however her family are becoming increasingly concerned and we are keen to find her and return her home as soon as possible. Anyone who recognises her description and believes they have seen since 8pm last Thursday is asked to contact police immediately. Similarly, we would urge Rebecca to get in touch with a loved one, a friend or police to let us know she is safe and well.”
Anyone with any information can contact Lothian and Borders Police on 0131 311 3131, or the charity Crimestoppers in confidence and complete anonymity on 0800 555 111.
