Lancashire Police are appealing to trace Pareesa Ghaderi, 16, who has gone missing from her home in Blackburn.

She was last seen at her home on Pinewood around 5pm on Saturday 16 January.

Pareesa is described as Asian, 5ft 1in, slim build with waist-length black hair. She was last seen wearing glasses, black leggings, black and pink trainers, a pale pink scarf and a beige winter coat with a hood with fur trim. She was also carrying a large blue handbag.

PC Jade Shaw from Blackburn Police said: “Pareesa has been missing for several days now and we are appealing for anyone who has seen her or knows where she is to get in touch with us. Pareesa is vulnerable because of her age and we are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare.

“We would also urge Pareesa, if she sees this appeal, to return home or to get in touch with us to let us know she is safe.”

Police say she has links with Preston and Liverpool.

Anyone with information can contact police on 101, quoting log number 1210 of January 16, 2016.
