People are being asked to look out for a teenage girl who has been missing from home for nine days.

Police believe that Shakira, from Trafford, is currently in Oldham.

She was last seen on the evening of Friday, August 8, but Greater Manchester Police says the 17-year-old has been active online in the days since then.

A GMP spokesperson added: “Searches have been ongoing since she was reported missing and she has been active on social media, but we have not been able to locate her in person.

Shakira is described as being 5ft 1ins tall, of slim build and with long, wavy ginger hair which may be clipped up.

She has a birth mark above her right eye and was last seen wearing a white jacket, black jeans and grey-and-white Adidas trainers.
