The family of a 16-year-old girl who has been missing for more than a week have pleaded for her to get in touch.

Julia Skala left her home around 1pm on 8 January and has not been heard from or seen since.

She was last seen wearing a black North Face jacket, black trousers, black Nike trainers and was carrying a black Nike rucksack.

In a direct appeal to Julia on Wednesday, her family said: “Julia, you are loved and missed terribly.

“No matter what the reason was for you to leave, you aren’t in any kind of trouble and we just want to know you are safe. Please, just let someone know you are ok.”

The teenager was reported missing by her mother on the morning of 9 January.

Although Julia lives in Mitcham, she also has links to Lambeth, Camden and Islington and it is possible she has travelled to these places via public transport.

Detective chief superintendent Clair Kelland, in charge of policing for Merton, said: “Since Julia was reported missing, our officers have been working around the clock to try and find her.

“We have gathered and examined hours of CCTV and doorbell footage, spoken to many people who know her and carried out enquiries with those who live in the area to establish whether they have any information that might help our investigation.
