Police are appealing for help to trace a pregnant teenage girl who has been missing from Tameside for almost two weeks.
Rebecca Strang, 17, was last seen in Stalybridge at around 2:40pm on Friday May 6.
The teenager is 17 weeks pregnant and has missed her last ante-natal clinic appointment, police said.
Detectives leading the search for Rebecca say she is known to frequent Manchester city centre and has been known to travel to Warrington and Glasgow.
Officers say they are growing increasingly concerned for Rebecca’s welfare.
Det Insp David Loughlin, of GMP’s Tameside Division, said: “We are concerned for Rebecca and her unborn baby’s welfare and would urge her to get in touch with the police to let us know she is safe and well.”
Rebecca is described as white, is approximately 5ft 2in tall and of a slim build with long brown hair.
She was last seen wearing a mid-length dress, beige Timberland boots, a black jacket and a beany hat.
Anybody with any information about her whereabouts is asked to police on 101.
Missing People charity issues appeal
The charity Missing People have put out an appeal asking Rebecca to contact them.
It includes the message:
“Rebecca we are here for you whenever you are ready; we can listen, talk you through what help you need, pass a message for you and help you to be safe. Call. Text. Anytime. Free. Confidential. 116000”
Connections to homeless camp
Rebecca is believed to have had connections to Manchester’s homeless camp, The Ark.
She is originally from St Helens but has links to several parts of Greater Manchester and Manchester city centre.
