Police appeal: help find missing teen Maya Keen thought to be in London

Police have appealed for help tracing missing teenager Maya Keen - who is thought to be in London.

The 16-year-old left her family home in Stansted, Essex, at 7.30am on September 3 - and there have been no confirmed sightings since.

Friends and family believe she was spotted on CCTV footage outside London Liverpool Street station at 8.04am on the same day she went missing.

This picture shows a person in a pink wig, with a pink t-shirt and pink face mask, pulling a black suitcase - the clothes Maya was last seen in when she left home.

Essex Police said: “We are asking for help to find Maya Keen, 16, who is missing from her home in Stansted.
