Urgent appeal to find missing Rochdale girl last seen 140 miles away

Police have issued an urgent appeal for help finding a girl who is believed to have travelled around 140 miles from home. Alisha was reported missing to Greater Manchester Police on Monday (June 20).

The force says the Rochdale youngster was then seen yesterday (Tuesday) in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. Police believe she has travelled to the city, where she was seen in the Central Park area at around 7pm last night.

GMP says that at the time she was seen, Alisha was wearing a dark blue vest and grey jogging bottoms. Officers believe she may have taken a change of clothing with her in a dark drawstring bag, which appeared to be full.

Police are becoming increasingly concerned for the girl's disappearance and are urging anyone who sees her or has information on her whereabouts to come forward as soon as possible. GMP has not released the girl's surname or age.

In a post shared on social media this afternoon (Wednesday), a GMP spokesperson said: "Can you help police find a missing girl from Rochdale? Alisha was reported missing on Monday, June 20 2022, and is believed to have travelled to Peterborough.

"She was last seen in the Central Park area of Peterborough at around 7pm on Tuesday, June 21 2022. At the time, Alisha was wearing a dark blue vest, grey jogging bottoms and was carrying a dark drawstring bag which appeared to be full, therefore she may have changed clothing."

Anyone with information about Alisha’s whereabouts should contact GMP by calling 0161 856 3533, quoting MSP/06PP/0001294/22.
