Teen girl missing from Stonehaven has 'connections to Glasgow'
Ava Allan, 15, vanished from the Kinneff area near Stonehaven on Friday afternoon.
Police Scotland has issued an urgent public appeal for help in tracing 15-year-old Ava Allan, who has been reported missing from the Stonehaven area.
Ava was last seen around 1.30pm on Friday, July 4, in the small village of Kinneff, roughly 10 miles south of Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire. She has not been heard from since, sparking increasing concern for her safety and wellbeing.
She is described as being around 5ft 6in tall, of average build, with blonde hair. When last seen, Ava was wearing a grey jumper and pink trouser bottoms. Officers say she is known to have links to the Glasgow area and may have travelled there.
Police are working around the clock to trace Ava's movements and are urging anyone who may have seen her, or who may have dashcam or CCTV footage from the area, to come forward. They are also appealing to Ava directly to make contact and let someone know she is safe.
Inspector Rae Christie, leading the inquiry, said: 'We are asking anyone who has seen Ava or knows where she might be to get in touch with us immediately.'
