Police are “very concerned” about a missing teenage girl they believe may be with an older man. Naomi Rees, 15, from Rhydyfelin, Pontypridd, South Wales has not been seen since the morning of August 15.
Officers searching for her believe she may be with 20-year-old Tomas Baker, who lives in Tamworth, Staffordshire.
Naomi’s family and friends are worried about about her, and South Wales Police is appealing for Naomi to get in touch to let them know she is safe.
They have also sent a message to Tomas, saying it’s “not too late to do the right thing”.
CCTV footage shows Naomi getting on a bus on Cardiff Road in Rhydyfelin at 7.46am heading towards Pontypridd town centre on the day she was last seen.
At 8.06am, further CCTV footage shows her on Bridge Street walking into Ynysangharad War Memorial Park.
Inquiries are continuing to establish where Naomi went after that.
In the footage Naomi is wearing a long scarf, dark jacket, dark jeans, and black trainers with white soles. She is also carrying a holdall.
Detective Inspector Gareth Davies, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are very concerned for Naomi as it is now over a week since she was last seen by her loved ones.
“Naomi has not made contact with her family who are deeply distressed.
