Earlier, Dorset Police appealed for information from the public.

Chief Inspector Andy Edwards, of Dorset Police, said: “While we have no information to indicate Laila has come to any harm, she has been away from home for a number of days now which is out of character for her, and we are concerned for her welfare.

“From our enquiries, we believe she may have been travelling on the train network between Weymouth and London with other teenagers on the afternoon of Sunday 16 July 2023.

“I would urge anyone with information regarding Laila’s whereabouts to please contact us.

“I also want to make a direct plea to Laila if you see this – please get in touch with us or your family and let us know where you are. We just want to make sure that you are all right.”
