Police have renewed their appeal for information on a teenager missing from her home.

Catalina Covaci

Catalina Covaci, aged 14, who lives in Workington, has not been seen since 8.30am last Friday.

She is Romanian and speaks little English, Cumbria Police said.

Catalina is described as being of slim build with long, straight, dark brown hair which has recently been dyed red.

When last seen she was wearing a black puffer jacket, grey T-shirt, long  grey shirt and gold flat shoes.

Catalina is believed to have travelled to the UK in October 2011. She was living in the West Cumbria area and in February 2012 became known to the authorities.

“Police are concerned for Catalina's safety and urge anyone with information to come forward,” a spokesman said, appealing for anyone with information on her whereabouts to contact officers.

"It is possible that Catalina has sought to rejoin members of the extended Romanian community resident in West Cumbria or elsewhere in the UK."

Anyone with information should call officers on 101 or CrimeStoppers on 0800 555111.
