Po­lice are ap­peal­ing to the pub­lic for ur­gent as­sis­tance in lo­cat­ing 13-year-old Nata­nia Noth­ing­ham, who has been re­port­ed miss­ing.

Ac­cord­ing to the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS), Nata­nia, of Ari­ma, was last seen on Sat­ur­day, Ju­ly 4. Her dis­ap­pear­ance was re­port­ed to the Barataria Po­lice Sta­tion the fol­low­ing day, and of­fi­cers have since launched ef­forts to lo­cate her.

Po­lice de­scribed Nata­nia as be­ing of African de­scent with a dark brown com­plex­ion.

She was last seen wear­ing a black and white dress and a pair of black san­dals.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors have not re­leased any ad­di­tion­al de­tails sur­round­ing the cir­cum­stances of her dis­ap­pear­ance but are urg­ing any­one with in­for­ma­tion to come for­ward as soon as pos­si­ble.

The TTPS is ask­ing mem­bers of the pub­lic who may have seen Nata­nia or who know of her where­abouts to con­tact the Barataria Po­lice Sta­tion at 674-4723.

In­for­ma­tion can al­so be shared anony­mous­ly through Crime Stop­pers by call­ing 800-TIPS. Mem­bers of the pub­lic may al­so con­tact the po­lice by di­alling 555, 999 or 911, or by re­port­ing in­for­ma­tion to the near­est po­lice sta­tion.

Po­lice are en­cour­ag­ing any­one who may have rel­e­vant in­for­ma­tion, no mat­ter how in­signif­i­cant it may seem, to as­sist in­ves­ti­ga­tors in their ef­forts to safe­ly lo­cate the teenag­er.

Miss­ing chil­dren in­ves­ti­ga­tions are treat­ed as a pri­or­i­ty by the TTPS, and of­fi­cers are con­tin­u­ing en­quiries in an ef­fort to re­unite Nata­nia with her fam­i­ly.

Any­one who be­lieves they may have seen the teenag­er since her dis­ap­pear­ance is urged to con­tact the po­lice im­me­di­ate­ly.
