An appeal has been launched to find a 12-year-old West Norwood girl who disappeared after she left home.

Keira Zarb-Cousin was last seen when she left her home in Knights Hill at about 9am on Bank Holiday Monday (May 29).

Lambeth police said in the statement they are ‘extremely concerned for her safety and wellbeing’.

The schoolgirl, who has links to Mitcham, is described as white, 5ft of slim build and has long brown hair, which is usually worn in a ponytail.

When Kiera vanished, she was seen wearing a camouflage-style jacket, black trousers and white trainers. She was also carrying a black bag.

It is understood she was travelling towards Croydon on Beulah Hill when she left home.
