Editor's note: The girl has now been located and we have removed her image from this story.

A TEENAGE girl who is described as in a distressed state and seen getting into a car is the subject of an urgent police search.

West Midlands Police is appealing for information to trace the young girl who was last seen outside The Woodman pub in Dudley last night (23 June).

Witnesses have described the girl as being very distressed before she got into a grey SUV type car on Saltwells Road at around 7pm. Enquiries continue in a bid to trace the car, its registered keeper and the driver. 

Officers hope someone will recognise the girl from this image captured on CCTV and get in touch. 

She is described as being around 14-years-old with dark brown hair and was last seen wearing ripped blue jeans and a long sleeved white top. 
 

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 or message on Live Chat via our website. Alternatively, you can call the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111. Callers won’t be asked their names and calls cannot be traced.
