CONCERN is growing for a Bromyard teenager missing from her home since last week.
Samantha Baker, aged 16, disappeared while on a shopping trip to Hereford's Asda store at around 7pm last Thursday (20th).
Police have been working with forces across the country to try and find Samantha, who has links to Telford, Coventry, Swindon and Gloucester.
"Although Samantha has been missing for some days and not made contact with her home, she has been in touch with some of her friends," said police spokesman Neil Tipton.
"It is thought that she may now be in the Coventry area and we are urging Samantha to make contact with the police to let us know she is safe and well.
"Equally, we would like to speak to anyone who sees or has heard from Samantha so that we can try and locate her as quickly as possible to ensure her welfare."
Samantha is white, of slim build and with dark brown shoulder-length hair. She is around 5ft 7ins tall. When last seen she was wearing light blue jeans, black boots and a black Yankees hooded top.
