A search has been launched to find a 15-year-old girl last seen in a town centre.

Cheryl Hutchison has gone missing from Laurieston in Falkirk.

The youngster was last seen in Falkirk town centre at 4pm on Sunday but has not been in contact with her family since.

She is 5ft, slim and has long blonde hair. The teenager was wearing black jeans, a grey hooded top and had a black handbag.

Constable Callum Richardson said: "We are growing increasingly concerned about Cheryl's welfare since she's been missing since Sunday.

"Similarly if Cheryl herself sees this appeal, we would ask her to get in contact with us or her family."

Anyone with information is asked to contact 101.
