Search Launched For Missing Girl

Police are appealing for assistance in tracing a 12-year-old girl who went missing in New Addington on Friday afternoon.

Tia Sharp was last seen leaving her grandmother's home in New Addington at around 12.00hrs (midday) on Friday 3 August.

Tia said she was going to the Whitgift Centre in Croydon town centre.

She is white, of slim build, 4ft 5 in tall and was wearing glasses. She was last seen wearing a yellow bandeau top over a white bra with visible cross straps, light grey leopard-skinned leggings and black and pink Nike high top trainers.

It is totally out of character for Tia to go missing. We believe she had a small amount of cash with her but no Zip card (Oyster) and she did not have her mobile phone.

She is known to hangout around the Croydon, Mitcham and Wimbledon areas.
