DETECTIVES have released CCTV images of a missing Scottish teenager with a mystery woman at Liverpool Street Station in London in a bid to trace the runaway girl.

Fears are growing for the safety of Sasha Martin, 15, from Lasswade, Midlothian, who disappeared from her home three months ago.

The teenager is described as 5ft 3in tall, slim, with dark brown hair with extensions and pink streaks. She has blue eyes and was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, jeans and black shoes.

Her mother made an emotional appeal to her daughter yesterday as the images taken at the station just days after she was last seen by family on 15 October were released.

Sasha called her mother on the day the footage was taken to say she was safe and well but did not want to come home. She has not spoken to any friends or family since.

Tracey Martin, 33, last night pleaded for her daughter's safe return.

Ms Martin said: "I'm not angry with her, we love her and we want her back. Even if she could contact anyone to let us know she is safe."

PC Allan McLean, one of the team looking for Sasha, said the length of time the girl had been missing was concerning.

He added: "We are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare and would urgently like to speak with the woman Sasha is seen following."
