POLICE are investigating the disappearance of a teenage girl who has been missing for three days.
Saoirse Docherty, 16, of Leithland Road in Pollok, Glasgow, went missing from her home on Friday, after going to meet family and friends in the village of Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire.
She was last seen by a friend at around 12.30am on Saturday, close to Kilbarchan Bowling Club.
Strathclyde Police said all attempts to trace the teenager have failed and they, along with Ms Docherty's family, are growing concerned for her safety. Officers are now appealing for help in finding her.
Inspector Angela McHendry, based at Paisley police station, said: "I urge anyone who has seen Saoirse since midnight on Friday, March 9, or anyone who knows of her whereabouts, to contact police immediately."
Ms Docherty is described as 5ft 2in, of slim build with brown eyes and brown, collar-length hair. She was last seen wearing brown skinny trousers, brown ankle boots, a cream top and a khaki Barbour-style jacket.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
