BURNLEY mum Carol Blackett has pleaded for her missing 14-year-old daughter Sarah (pictured) to return home.

Sarah has not been seen by her family since her mum returned to their home in Grassington Drive at 12.30pm on Thursday last week and found she was not there.

The teenager has been missing from home before but never for so long.

Sarah is described as being 5ft 1ins tall, slim with a clear complexion and brown eyes.

She has dark blonde shoulder length hair and at the time she left she was wearing a navy Tommy Hill Figer fleece and black pants.

She was also wearing a Kicker watch, silver ring and gold sovereign ring and was in possession of £10 cash. A police spokesman said: "We are appealing for her to return home." They are asking for anyone who has seen Sarah or knows her whereabouts to ask her to get in touch with home and to contact Burnley police on 01282 425001.
