Concern for families as teen friends go missing

A SCHOOLGIRL and another teenager have gone missing, police revealed yesterday.

Officers said relatives were becoming "increasingly concerned" for the safety of 14-year-old Nicole Sharp and 17-year-old Elliot Sharp, who are not related.

The two, who are thought to be together, were last seen in South View, Stenhousemuir, at around 6pm on Wednesday.

Nicole is described as about 5ft tall, with a slim build and light-brown shoulder-length hair.

She was wearing black school trousers, a white shirt, black cardigan, black boots, a black "McKenzie" jacket and carried a black school bag.

Elliot is described as between 5ft 5in and 6ft tall and has brown hair with a blond fringe.

He was wearing black tracksuit bottoms, a black hooded Adidas jogging top with a red logo, a white G-Star T-shirt with blue writing, and black trainers.

Anyone who may have seen people matching these descriptions or who believes they know the whereabouts of the teenagers is asked to contact Central Scotland Police.

Elliot lists on his Bebo page that his favourite music is rap and R&B and he says he is scared of "nothing".
