POLICE are asking for help in finding a teenager who has been missing from home since Christmas Day.

They say they are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare of 15-year-old Lucille Willett.

She vanished from her home in Minster, near Sheerness, at about 11.30pm on Christmas Day.

Lucille is white, around 5ft 3in tall, of slim build with blue eyes. She had very long brown hair worn in a ponytail when she disappeared.

Kent Police spokeswoman Sally Smith said: "When last seen she was wearing a brown tracksuit, a white zip-up jacket, black gloves, white trainers and a cream scarf."

Det Insp Dave Barnett who is heading the enquiry, said: “It has been a long time since any of Lucille’s friends or carers have heard from her.

"Though Lucille has gone missing before she is only 15-years-old and we consider her to be vulnerable. I would like to ask any person who may be able to help us find her to contact us as soon as possible.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Kent Police on 01795 477055.
