Police are "gravely concerned" for missing 18-year-old

Police are gravely concerned for the welfare of missing teenage girl Amy Latham.

The 18-year-old was last seen at 7:30am yesterday morning at her home along Watford Gardens in Wimborne.

Chief Inspector Debbie Marsden of Dorset Police said, "I understand that Amy has been very upset recently and her family is concerned that she may come to some harm.

“She took her mobile and last made contact with a friend at 2.30pm but since then we have been unable to contact her. She did not take any money or clothes and she does not have access to a car.

"It is important that Amy, or anyone who knows of Amy's whereabouts, comes forward as soon as possible."

Amy has been described as six feet tall and of slim build. She has dark shoulder length hair which she normally wears down. It is believed that she may be wearing black skinny jeans and a dark coloured hoody.

Anyone with information should call Dorset Police on 101 quoting incident number 30:363.
