She is known to frequent Paisley, Greenock, Largs, Irvine, Kilwinning and Ardrossan.

Sergeant Christopher Daly, Paisley Police Office, said: “Although Charli has been missing on a number of occasions before, she is only 15 years of age and we need to know that she is safe and well. As the days pass, her family and friends are growingly increasingly concerned for her.

"We would urge anyone who knows of her whereabouts to come forward, we would also ask Charli herself to get in contact and let us know you are okay.

“Extensive police enquiries are ongoing to trace her and officers have been carrying out searches to find Charli, but have so far been unsuccessful.  I would ask anyone with information on her whereabouts to contact Police via 101, quoting incident number 1830 of Tuesday 16 October 2018.”
