Police Concerned For Missing Teenager
A young girl is believed to have run away with an older man.
Sixteen-year-old Lisa Wright, from Dagenham, Essex, went missing on her way to school on April 28.
The teenager has contacted her mother, Angela, twice but has refused to say where she is.
Ms Wright believes that her daughter may have run of with an unemployed man almost three times her age.
It is thought Lisa is staying with Nigel Trowbridge, 46, from Barking.
Reports say that she is "infatuated" with the man who is thought to be an old school friend of her mothers.
It is reported that police have searched Mr Trowbridge's flat and found some of Lisa's clothes and a bottle of her perfume.
Lisa was due to sit her GCSE exams this week.
A Metropolitan spokesman says that police are concerned because of her age and are continuing to investigate.
"She is 16 so is old enough to leave home if she wanted but we are treating it as a missing person," the spokesman added.
Lisa is described as around 5ft 5 in tall with shoulder length blonde hair and brown eyes.
Barking Police have issued an appeal for information. Anyone who can assist is asked to call 020 8217 7749.
