A TEENAGE girl has been missing since leaving school this afternoon.

Morgan Banks was last seen on Kilwinning Road around 2pm and extensive enquiries to try to trace her have failed.

She has long blond hair and was wearing a white shirt, black leggings, a green camouflage jacket with a fur hood, a red tartan scarf and carrying a pink bag.

She also has braces on her teeth.

Officers are in the process of checking CCTV footage for any sightings of Morgan or any information that could lead them to locating her.

Inspector Darren Muir said: “Concern is growing for Morgan and her family is extremely worried.

"Everyone just wants to know she is safe and well.

"I am appealing to anyone who may have seen Morgan today or anyone who has any information or knowledge as to her whereabouts to contact us.

"Any small piece of information could help us locate Morgan and ensure she is ok."

Anyone with information is asked to contact officers at Irvine Police Station via 101, quoting incident number 1936 of December 18, 2018.
