Appeal for help to trace missing Peterhead teenager who may have travelled to Edinburgh

Officers are appealing for the help of the public to trace a 17-year-old teenager reported missing from Peterhead who may have travelled to Edinburgh.

Ethanie Labandia (pictured) was last seen around 8 am in the Skelton Street area of Peterhead yesterday (Monday, 17 April). She did not attend school and has not been seen since.

She is described as around 5ft 2ins, of slim build with long, dark hair. When last seen she was wearing a white shirt and dark trousers.

Sergeant Gary Johnston said: “Ethanie did not attend school as expected and concerns are growing for her welfare. She may have travelled to Edinburgh by bus.

“We are asking anyone who has seen Ethanie or knows where she might be to get in touch. If Ethanie becomes aware of this appeal then I would urge her to call us or get in touch with her family so we know she is safe and well.”

Anyone who can help is asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference number 1461 of Monday, 17 April, 2023.

*** UPDATE ***

Police Scotland can confirm that Ethanie Labandia (17), reported missing from the Peterhead area, has been traced safe and well.

Thanks to all who assisted in tracing her.
