A teenager from Crawley has gone missing.

16 year-old Emily Besant was last seen on Sunday in Sutton.  She has gone missing before and police are concerned for her welfare.

Emily has been staying in the south London area but has previously lived in Crawley and continues to have connections there.

The teenager is described as white, 5′ 4″ with shoulder length blonde hair. She has her tongue, nose and lip pierced and often wears very long false eyelashes.

She was last seen wearing a red top, blue jeans ripped at the knee and white Converse trainers. Police believe she may be sleeping rough and not taking medication she has been prescribed.
