Girl, 13, missing with internet man

12 April 2012

Police are searching for a 13-year-old girl thought to have gone missing with a man she met over the internet.

Teagan Feakins was last seen by her mother in Torquay at around 7.30pm on Friday.

Devon and Cornwall Police believe she is in the company of James Spencer Grenfell, 22, from Braintree in Essex.

Grenfell is thought to have met Teagan over the internet and travelled to Torbay on public transport. Teagan was last seen at 7.30pm when her mother dropped her off in Babbacombe Road, Torquay. She was due to be picked up by her mother at 9.30pm but she was not there.

Officers do not know where Teagan and Grenfell may be - but believe they are using public transport. They appealed for the public to be on the lookout for the pair and are asking anyone with information to contact them.

Teagan is white, around 5ft 5in, with light brown shoulder-length hair which she usually wears in a ponytail. She was wearing a dark blue hooded top with the logo JSW Crew, and blue jeans, and had a large turquoise handbag.

Grenfell is white with a longish face, a prominent nose and black hair.

Detective Inspector Dave Thorne said: "Obviously we are very concerned as to where Teagan may be.

"If she or James hear or see this appeal we would urge them to call police immediately on 999 to let us know they are safe and well."

Anyone with any information is asked to call 08452 777444.
