Police are urging residents in Watford to keep an eye out for a 15-year-old girl who has gone missing.

Grace was last seen at around 8.50pm last night (Sunday, May 5) on Ware Road, Hertford, and has links to Ware, Potters Bar, Brookmans Park and Welwyn Garden City.

However, police are widening their appeal for Grace believing she could be anywhere in Hertfordshire - including Watford.

Update: police have announced that Grace has been found.

A spokesperson for Herts Police added: "Grace often changes her appearance so her hair colour may be different to the photo."

The teenager also has connections in the Enfield and Soho areas of London.

The spokesperson added: "Officers are appealing for the public’s help to trace a teenager who is missing from her home in Hertford.

"Grace was last seen wearing a black, long-sleeved knitted top, black leggings and purple Crocs.

"She has short black hair that was styled half-up/half-down when she went missing.
