seen. It is not known where she may have been heading or
what she is currently wearing. ”

character for Cheyniah to go this long without contacting a

safety. If Cheyniah is with you please contact Police by
calling 111 so that we can speak to her on the phone and
confirm she is safe” explained Acting Senior Sergeant
