A desperate search is underway for a 15-year-old girl who vanished from a coastal town in Essex.
Kelsey McVicar, from Clacton-on-Sea, was last seen dressed in all black—wearing a jacket, shorts, Adidas trainers, and carrying a black backpack.
She’s described as around 5ft 6ins tall and may have travelled to London, with police believing she could be in either the Barking or Dagenham areas.
“We’re worried about her and need to find her to make sure she’s okay,” a spokesperson for Essex Police said.
Disappearance Sparks Concern
Authorities and the public are growing increasingly concerned for Kelsey’s welfare. Her sudden disappearance has sparked a regional alert, and officers are urging anyone who might have seen her to come forward.
Kelsey’s disappearance has triggered a coordinated search effort across Essex and parts of East London, as the police urge anyone with information to act swiftly. The teenager’s well-being remains the top priority.
