An urgent appeal has been launched to help find a 13-year-old girl who has been missing for two days.

Hayleigh Kent from Perth, Scotland was last seen in Perth city centre near Kinoull Causeway at around 10:15am on Saturday 26 February, but she failed to return home that evening and was subsequently reported missing.

Kent is white, around 5 foot 4 inches tall with long brown hair and was last seen wearing a grey hooded top, a navy jacket, black leggings and white Nike trainers. She is also though to be carrying three bags.

Police said Kent regularly visits Edinburgh as well as Fife and Dundee where enquiries are currently underway.

In a Facebook post, the Tayside Police Division said: “Extensive enquiries are under way, however, attempts to locate her have so far proved unsuccessful.

“Officers are seeking to view any relevant CCTV footage which may provide additional information on where Hayleigh may have gone.”

Kent is still missing and Police Scotland are urging anyone with information on Hayleigh and her whereabouts to contact them on 101, quoting incident number 2280 of 26 February, 2022.
