People are being asked to look out for a teenage girl who has been missing from home for nine days.<\/p>\n

Police believe that Shakira, from Trafford<\/a>, is currently in Oldham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n
