A 14-year-old Bow girl has been missing for over a week after failing to return home from school last Wednesday.

The parents of Zoe Cocks said they are “extremely concered for her” as Tower Hamlets police have made an appeal for information from the public.

Ms Cocks was last seen wearing a grey school skirt with a black jumper and a black rucksack and she has naturally ginger hair.

Police have received reports that she has been seen in the Chrisp Street market and in Stratford.
