Police are appealing for help to find a Mt Colah teenager who has been missing for a week.
Jasmine Singh, 16, was last seen leaving her family’s home on Jersey St at Mount Colah, at about 8pm on Thursday February 18.
It is assumed that she drove from the scene in her mother’s car - a blue Toyota Corolla with NSW registration UKX 078 - as this also went missing. Jasmine, who attends Asquith Girls High School, has a Learner’s Permit.
Officers from Kuring-gai Local Area Command have been following a number of lines of inquiry since Jasmine’s disappearance, but have been unable to locate her.
Her friends have told police they have not had any contact with her since she went missing.
Police and the family hold concerns for her welfare as it is out of character for her to leave for this amount of time.
Inspector Col Lott said Jasmine was a normal school girl who had some issues at home. She is believed to have been in possession of about $900 when she disappeared.
Jasmine is described as being of Indian/Pakistani appearance, of thin build with long black hair.
She was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, black shorts and white runners.
Anyone with information about Jasmine’s whereabouts is urged to contact Hornsby Police on 94769799 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
