Police say they believe a missing 15-year-old girl has been abducted.
Madison Thomas, known as Maddie, has not been seen since she left her home in Southmead, Bristol, on 26 April, telling her family she was going to the shops.
Avon and Somerset Police began conducting house-to-house searches in the streets near her home on Tuesday.
“She is vulnerable and at risk of being taken advantage of,” said Det Insp Laura Miller.
“When Maddie has previously gone missing she has been found in the company of adult men.”
‘Everyone is worried’
Because of her history, police suspect she is currently with someone.
“We’re really concerned about her safety and have a dedicated team working extremely hard to locate her,” added Det Insp Miller.
“Maddie – if you see this please contact us if you can to let us know you’re safe. Everyone is worried about you.”
Maddie is a child in foster care and was last seen 15 days ago by her carers.
Anyone who sees the missing teen, who is described as being around 5ft (1.5m) tall, with shoulder-length brown hair, is asked to call 999.
