Family fear missing Ayrshire teenager Abbey Lewis travelled to Birmingham with 40-year-old man she met online
The 16-year-old 'vulnerable' girl was reported missing after she disappeared from her home in Saltcoats as sister posts emotional appeal to facebook
A FAMILY has launched a desperate appeal for a 16-year-old girl feared to have run away with a 40-year-old man she met online to come home.
Abbey Lewis, 16, was reported missing yesterday after she disappeared from her home in Saltcoats, North Ayrshire.
She was last seen at 11.15pm on Sunday on Dockhead Street walking towards Green Street in the direction of Saltcoats Train Station.
Now Police Scotland say the youngster may have been on her way to meet someone she met online from Birmingham.
An emotional plea from Abbey's sister on Facebook begged anyone with information to get in touch.
She is described as 5ft in height and of slim build with collar-length dyed blonde hair and wearing glasses.
She was wearing a black padded jacket, blue jeans, white Adidas trainers with a black backpack and carrying a grey holdall.

“I would urge anyone who has seen Abbey, or who has any information on her whereabouts to contact Irvine Police Office through 101.”
