A teenage girl from Wiltshire has been missing for over a week and police are urging members of the public to help with their search.

17-year-old Sofia Joseph was last seen on January 17 at her home address in Shalbourne, near to Marlborough, and police say they are becoming "increasingly concerned" for her welfare.

The appeal for help comes just one day after another Wiltshire teenager, Ethan Clark, was also reported as missing although the two incidents are not thought to be related.

Sofia has been described as a black 17-year-old girl, around five foot five inches tall, of slim build and she currently has blonde hair.

The teen was last seen in Shalbourne wearing a white crop top, a black hoodie, three-quarter-length trousers and white and grey Nike trainers.

She also has links to the Reading and Wolverhampton area.

In a recent statement, a spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said:

"We are appealing for your help in finding a 17-year-old girl missing from Shalbourne.

"If you can help us to locate Sofia please contact us on 101 quoting reference 54240007729."
