Police are appealing for help to find a 15-year-old girl from Hackney who has been missing for nearly a week.

Tia Malone was last seen on Saturday July 6 at her home in Hackney.

She is described as black, 5’ 7” tall and of stocky build, and usually wears her hair in a ponytail.

When last seen, she was wearing a white vest, grey trousers, white sandals and carrying a black PVC bag.

It is believed she may be travelling on London buses.

Police previously appealed for her whereabouts in May.

Anyone who has seen Tia is asked to contact Hackney police via 101.
