Sergeant Steven Brown, Coatbridge Police Station, said: "The families of both girls are very concerned as it is really out of character for them to be missing for this length of time without making contact.

"It's thought that they may have travelled to Glasgow as they have links throughout Glasgow and Lanarkshire.

"Officers have been checking CCTV in an effort to trace both girls and would appeal to anyone who may have seen either of them or anyone has information of their present whereabouts to get in touch immediately."

Information can be passed to officers via 101 quoting reference number 1779 of Tuesday, 18 January.
