Concern is growing in east London for a teenage girl who has gone missing from her home on the Isle of Dogs.

Police are worried for the welfare of 16-year-old Chloe Fawsitt who was last seen at 12.40pm on Monday at her parents’ home.

She was going out to meet a friend for lunch, she said, but has not been seen since.

Chloe is described as white, 5ft 6ins tall, stocky build, and with dyed blonde hair.

She was wearing light-coloured Donna Karan Converse-style shoes, black leggings, black rollneck top and a green and black tartan poncho at the time she disappeared.

Officers are increasingly concerned for Chloe’s wellbeing and are asking anyone with information on her whereabouts to call police on 101 or Missing People on 116000.
