Concern is growing for a missing 14-year-old girl who could be in Manchester or Bury.

Katelan Coates is missing from home in Todmorden in Yorkshire, police said. The teenager was last seen outside the Todmorden High School on Tuesday morning (March 28), but she did not go to school that day.

Officers think she may have travelled to Blackburn, Burnley, Bury or Manchester. Katelan was last seen wearing her school uniform, which is a black blazer, a blue and black tie and black leggings.
