Police are searching for a schoolgirl who vanished after boarding a train with an “unknown older man” in Kent.

Lily Wright, 14, was reported missing on Monday after boarding a London-bound train from Canterbury West railway station at 1.30pm.

Also known more widely as Kalia, she was last seen wearing a black t-shirt and white Nike trainers.

The man she was with is described as possibly being in his later teenage years and wearing a grey top and grey jogging bottoms.

Kent Police believe the pair may have been heading to an address in Welling, Bexley, south-east London. The force added that she also has potential links to Ashford.

Lily is described as white, around 5ft 5ins tall, of slim build and has shoulder-length blonde hair.

Police say they are concerned for Lily’s welfare and anyone with information on her whereabouts should call 999, quoting reference 24-1061.
