A 13-year-old girl has gone missing from her home in Wimbledon and police believe she may be in France.

Serena Alexander-Benson was last seen at 7.50am yesterday (May 25) when she left her home telling her dad that she was going to school.

However she did not arrive at school and has not been seen since.

She was wearing her green blazer and green school uniform with dark brown hair tied up and Kingston Police said she was last spotted in the New Malden area.

Police enquiries have managed to establish that she left the UK at Folkstone on a Euro Tunnel train. Serena's mum lives in Poland.

A spokesperson from Met Police said: "Anyone who may know Serena's whereabouts or who may have seen her as she travelled through Folkestone - probably in the company of an older person - should call officers at Wandsworth CID on 020 3276 2588."
