The search for a missing<\/a> teenager in Greater Manchester has hit a grim new milestone.<\/p>\n

Leigha, from Oldham<\/a>, was last seen in Shaw<\/a> two weeks ago, at around 4pm on October 24.<\/p>\n

She remains missing this morning (November 7), Greater Manchester Police<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

The force says officers have made extensive enquiries to trace Leigha, whose surname has not been given.<\/p>\n

Leigha is described as being white, around 5ft 6ins tall and of slim build.<\/p>\n

She has short, black hair and piercings on both her nose and lip.<\/p>\n

As well as Oldham, Leigha has links to Openshaw and Wythenshawe<\/a>, in Manchester, plus the Stockport<\/a> and Tameside<\/a> areas.<\/p>\n

GMP shared an image of Leigha in previous appeals to try and find her.<\/p>\n

A force spokesperson previously said: “Officers are becoming increasingly concerned about her and want to make sure she is safe and well.”<\/p>\n

Leigha was last seen wearing a pink top, black jacket and a rainbow-coloured short skirt.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information on Leigha\u2019s whereabouts is urged to contact police on 101, quoting log number 3068-171025.<\/p>\n
