POLICE looking for a missing 14-year-old girl have extended their search to London.
Gail Pooley went missing from her foster home in the Felling area of Gateshead, almost a month ago.
Officers came across their best lead yet when Gail phoned a friend in Gateshead from a phone kiosk at King's Cross railway station in London on Tuesday.
They are now liaising with British Transport Police and the Metropolitan Police to try to trace her.
A spokesman for Northumbria Police said that, due to her tender age, they are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare.
Gail, who also goes by the names of Abigail and Abbie, is 5ft 8in tall and of proportionate build. She has a fair complexion, blue eyes and dark blonde collar-length straight hair.
Anyone with information about Gail's whereabouts is asked to contact Northumbria Police on 0191-214 6555.
