A THIRTEEN-year-old girl has sparked a police search after going missing from a Scots town.
Safiyyah Hussein was last seen at around 9am on Thursday morning in Rosyth, West Fife, officers said.
The schoolgirl is described as being around 5ft 5in in height, of medium build, and with long brown hair with blonde highlights.
She is believed to be wearing a white jumper, jogging bottoms, and white Fila brand trainers. Police said she may also be carrying a black leather rucksack.
Officers have asked anyone who may have seen her to get in touch.
Sergeant Debbie Murphy, from Cowdenbeath Police Station, said: “We would appeal to anyone who may have seen Safiyyah or has any information on her whereabouts to contact police. Information can be passed to officers via 101, quoting incident number 3238 of Thursday, June 1, 2023.
"We'd also appeal to Safiyyah herself to get in touch as we all just want to make sure she is safe and well."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
