A THIRTEEN-year-old girl has gone missing in the Kidderminster area.

Katy Jade Armstrong, from Spennels, was reported missing at noon on Friday.

Police believe she was spotted at Kidderminster Railway Station at about 12.30pm and again in Lorne Street at 4.30pm that day.

Katy is described as white, with dark brown, shoulder-length hair, possibly tied in a ponytail.

She was last seen wearing white Kappa trainers, blue baggy jeans and a dark coloured padded jacket and was carrying a rucksack or holdall.

"Unfortunately, the rucksack may contain a change of clothes," said Sgt Brian Russell, of Kidderminster police.

He said the teenager's family had been searching for her in Birmingham, where they fear she may have fled. She could also have gone to Merry Hill, they believe.

Katy is known to go to the skate park behind Kidderminster's football stadium and the quarry.

Anyone who has seen her should contact Kidderminster police on 01562 820888.
