The family of a teenage girl who has gone missing have made an appeal for her to get in touch.

Naomi Rees, from Rhydyfelin, Pontypridd, South Wales, has not been seen or heard from since the morning of August 15.

South Wales Police and her family are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare.

The 15-year-old’s family appealed for her to come home.

They said: “Please let us know where you are and that you are safe.

“Come home, we are all so worried about you.”

Detective Inspector Meirion Collings, from South Wales Police, added: “We have carried out extensive enquiries into where Naomi may be and we and her family are becoming increasingly worried.

“We are concerned she has left the local area and would like to know that she is safe.

“Naomi please call us or your family, or friends, or go to your nearest police station so we can reassure your family that you are OK.”
