Police have appealed for help in helping find missing teenager Courtney Hunter as concern grows for her welfare.
The 16-year-old is missing from the Stockton area and has not been seen since Monday September 9.
A Cleveland Police spokesperson said: "We are concerned for her welfare.
"Courtney is white, of slim build with copper coloured hair and was last seen wearing a grey tracksuit and long dangly earrings. She had a black bag with white writing on it with her.
"She has links to Cleveland and to County Durham, but she may have travelled to London by train.
