New CCTV footage shows moment missing teenage girl, 16, was last seen in Dartford
Police are urging witnesses to come forward after Lola Bignell, 16, was reported missing in Kent on Monday.
The footage shows Ms Bignell in the Heath Road area of Dartford on Tuesday and appears to show that she has dyed her hair black.
Police say she may have travelled to Bexleyheath, Margate or the east Kent area, where she has links.
'The 16-year-old is described as around 5ft 5in and of slim build, with long brown hair and blue eyes,' Kent Police added.
Anyone who has seen the teenager is advised to contact Kent Police or call 999 if they have critical information on her whereabouts.
Messages of support poured in online in response to the urgent appeal, which was shared over 1,500 times.
As well as multiple wishes that Ms Bignell is found 'safe and sound', the community raised concerns over the number of young people going missing.
'So many youngsters going missing, what's going on?' one comment read. 'Hope she is found.'
Some 79 per cent of missing children are found within 24 hours and 90 per cent are found within two days, according to the charity Missing UK.

Dismembered remains found by hiker in Utah belong to fisherman missing for 28 years, cops confirm
Dismembered remains found by a hiker in Utah were found to belong to a fisherman who had been missing for nearly three decades, cops say. In May, a hiker and his dog came across a hiking boot with the remains of a human foot inside on the shores of Fish Lake, the Sevier County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post Tuesday. Investigators determined the shoe was only made for one year, in 1996, and the sheriff's office had a missing persons case from 1997. David White of Washington, Utah — about a two and a half hour drive southwest of Fish Lake — had vanished in September of that year while on a fishing trip. There were no witnesses. White had rented a hotel room near the lake and he was supposed to go fishing with his friends, but the plans fell through, the sheriff's office said. White decided to go fishing anyway and was never seen again. His boat was later reportedly found trolling across the lake, but no one was on board, the Sheriff's office said. Trolling is a fishing method where a baited line trails behind a boat. 'A shoe and hat were found floating in the water giving a possible indication where White was believed to have fallen in,' according to the Facebook post. The initial search for White lasted five days with no further evidence found, and now, just about 28 years later, his family has some closure. DNA was taken from the boot and one of White's daughters and testing showed a '99.9994% certainty' the samples were related. Stefanie Bennett, one of White's daughters, said in a statement: 'We are also deeply grateful to the individual and his dog who found the shoe – without them, we would not be where we are today.' She also thanked the authorities and others for 'their incredible support and tireless efforts.' Sheriff Nathan J. Curtis said in a statement: 'This case has been on the mind of every one of the SAR [search and rescue] members who were involved in the search 28 years ago. It is good to finally have some closure for the family and the searchers.'

Double-decker bus driver who killed girl, nine, after ploughing into her high on drugs has sentence increased to six years and eight months
A double-decker bus driver who killed a nine-year-old girl when he crashed into her while high on drugs has had his jail term increased. Martin Asolo-Ogugua, 24, was sentenced in April to four years after he ploughed into Ada Bicakci as she travelled to a gymnastics class with her father and brother in Bexleyheath, south London. He was found to be three times the legal level of cannabis having been up all night at a social event. Asolo-Ogugua and had been seen yawning and driving the bus erratically minutes before the crash in which he appeared to have fallen asleep for '15 seconds'. Ada died two days later in hospital, with Asolo-Ogugua jailed after admitting causing her death by dangerous driving and driving while unfit through drugs. The Solicitor General referred his sentence to the Court of Appeal, arguing at a hearing on Wednesday that it was 'unduly lenient' and should be increased. Three senior judges ruled the sentence should be raised to six years and eight months, and that Asolo-Ogugua should be disqualified from driving for five years upon his release. Lord Justice Dingemans, sitting with Mr Justice Hilliard and Sir Robin Spencer, said that Asolo-Ogugua had 'acknowledged that he had destroyed his victim's family, and his own', but had 'disregarded the risk of danger to others for the period that he was driving'. He said: 'He must have appreciated that he was in no fit state to drive, but continued to drive.' Peter Ratliff, appearing for the Solicitor General, told the court that Asolo-Ogugua worked as a bus driver for Arriva and arrived for work on the morning of August 3, having only returned home from a social event at around 6.30am. He left a depot in Dartford at around 8.45am in a double-decker bus, with CCTV from the cab showing Asolo-Ogugua 'yawning repeatedly, appearing drowsy, his eyes appeared to close on occasion, and other road users noted his vehicle was being driven erratically' over around 13 minutes, Mr Ratliff said. Asolo-Ogugua then appeared to fall asleep for 'up to 15 seconds', with the bus drifting across the road and colliding with Ada in Watling Street, Bexleyheath. After being arrested at the scene, he admitted the two offences in April this year and was jailed at Woolwich Crown Court. Mr Ratliff continued that Asolo-Ogugua's sentence should be increased as there was 'a lack of attention to driving for a substantial period of time' and driving 'when deprived of adequate sleep'. He said: 'He must have appreciated from the outset, if he had not already, that he was in no fit state to drive and what he was doing was therefore inherently dangerous.' The barrister acknowledged that Asolo-Ogugua 'made efforts to seek assistance for the victim' at the time of the collision and had subsequently 'demonstrated clear remorse'. Asolo-Ogugua watched proceedings via a video link from HMP Isis in south London, with his mother in attendance at court. Gregory Fishwick, representing him, said the case was a 'tragedy', and that while the sentence 'might be classified as lenient', it was 'not unduly so'. He said: 'He will never forget this. It was a tragedy, one that he will feel forever.' Following the hearing, Solicitor General Lucy Rigby said: 'Martin Asolo-Oguagua's selfishness needlessly took the life of a young girl, causing irreparable damage to a family. 'I welcome the court's decision to increase his sentence and would like to extend my deepest sympathies to Ada's family.'

Police hire private security firm to stop children terrorising residents
Private security guards have been recruited to support police patrols in a seaside town in an attempt to stop children from terrorising residents during the school holidays. Businesses in Herne Bay, Kent, say groups of children have been stealing from shops, shouting abuse and using catapults against animals in the park. Akon Security has been given an £8,500 contract, funded by the Kent Police and Crime Commissioner's office, to help council enforcement officers crack down on antisocial behaviour. Two security guards will work five days a week to patrol the streets, while police increase their presence on Fridays and Saturdays. Akon workers cannot arrest anyone, but will act as a deterrent, assisting officers and reporting crimes straight to police. Heena Thakkar, 49, who owns a corner shop on the high street, said the children had been terrorising her for years – but that things were starting to improve with the new patrols. She said: 'We have had problems with them but with the new patrols it has gotten a lot better. They come to check on my shop at least two times a day. 'We had kids coming in a little gang, and they are only about eight or 10 years old. They would always steal stuff. 'They would also throw eggs and fruit at our doors. They were always lobbing trolleys at the windows. This was going on for four months, then they started killing ducks in the park.' A charity shop worker, who wished not to be named, said: 'If anyone ever leaves donations when we are closed, then the bags are destroyed and stink of urine. 'Theft has gone up loads even though we have cameras. These kids don't care that we have them. They steal about 50 items a month, which is a few hundred pounds of revenue. 'Most of our volunteers are old or vulnerable so even if they see something there isn't a lot that they can do.' Kamal Virdi, 59, who runs a vape shop in the high street, said: 'There is a group of around four or five kids that come up here on their e-scooters. I have thrown them out of the shop a few times. 'They are loud, and they come in the shops to try and steal stuff about two or three times a week. 'There are a lot of elderly people being terrorised by yobs. But there isn't anything that they can do.' The Kent Police and Crime Commissioner's office has funded the project, which will help the work of Kent Police, Kent county council (KCC) wardens and city council enforcement teams. A commissioner spokesman said that as part of the KCC budget for 'crime reduction grants', Canterbury's County Community Safety Partnership (CSP) was given an additional £8,500 so they can 'respond to seasonal ASB in the coastal area of Herne Bay'. Chief Insp Paul Stoner, the district commander in nearby Canterbury, said: 'Being visible is the bedrock of Kent Police's neighbourhood policing model, with community-focused beat teams as well as officers working with licensed premises dedicated to keep the town and surrounding areas safe and enjoyable for all. 'Partnership working with other agencies including Canterbury city council is well-established and any initiative introduced by a partner organisation aimed at making an area safer will be supported appropriately.'
