Detective Inspector Helen Tate said: "Erika has now been missing for almost five full days and we haven't had any positive sightings or confirmed contact from her.

"We know she has gone missing before but not for this long.

"She is a young girl, away from home and our main aim is for her to return safe and well.

"We know Erika's family have friends and acquaintances in the Bradford area, so she may well have travelled to West Yorkshire."

She also made a direct appeal to Erika asking her to get in touch, adding that she is not in any trouble.

Police described Erika as eastern European, 4ft 11in tall, of slim build, with long, dark brown straight hair and brown eyes.
