Police today issued CCTV footage showing a missing teenager walking through Brixton hand in hand with an unknown man.
Veronica Sbircea was last seen more than a month ago and police say they are concerned for her welfare.
Footage filmed from security cameras shows the 15-year-old walking along Brighton Terrace, near Brixton Market, at about 5.15pm on July 28.
Detective Inspector Stuart Hitchon, from Northamptonshire Police which is investigating her disappearance, said: “We’ve released some additional CCTV footage in the hope that it may trigger someone’s memory of seeing her. Or that Veronica herself may see it and make contact with us.
“It has been over a month since any sightings of her or any social media contact by her, which is very concerning. We desperately need to establish her whereabouts and ensure she is safe.”
Officers were on high alert for sightings of Veronica at Notting Hill Carnival over the weekend but made no progress with their investigation.
DI Hitchon said: “We believed there was a small chance Veronica might attend the carnival. However despite appealing to the public, no new leads have come in to the force.
Veronica sometimes goes by the name of Rachel. She is white, 5ft, with long straight black hair and brown eyes.
Originally from south London, Veronica left her home in Kettering on the evening of July 21.
Contact police on 101 with any information.
