Police are trying to trace a missing teenager last seen in Carlisle.

Sixteen-year-old Madeleine Wilkinson, of Barrow, was last seen on Currock Road in Carlisle on Saturday at around 6.30pm.

It is believed she may then have caught a train and travelled to either the Blackpool area or Bradford.

Officers concerned for Madeleine's welfare are appealing for people in north Cumbria to come forward with information.

She is described as a white female, 5ft 1in tall, of slim build, with long dyed black hair. She was last seen wearing a grey jumper and pink t-shirt, blue jeans, Nike trainers and carrying a large brown handbag.

Anyone with information should call Cumbria Police on 101.

Police are also urging Madeleine to get in touch if she sees the appeal, to let them know she is safe and well.
