By Paul Rogers news@ludlowadvertiser.co.uk A MISSING teenager from Leintwardine may have links to the Asian community in the Black Country after recently taking up Islam.

Fourteen-year-old Sarah Dunn has not been seen since she went missing from Bridgnorth on Monday, September 28.

Speaking at a press conference in Brierley Hill, Det Insp Jon Roberts said: “Sarah is known to have taken an interest in Islam prior to going missing and she has contacts in the Smethwick and Dudley areas.

“We are particularly appealing to the Asian community who may have a white female associating with them.”

Sarah’s mother, Christine Dunn, was also at the conference and made a heartfelt plea for her to get in touch.

“I would like to make a simple appeal to my daughter, Sarah, and it’s this.

“Please get in touch with me to let me know that you are OK.

“Just give me a ring or make contact in whatever way you can.

“There are lots of people out there with your best interests at heart, looking for you to make sure that you are safe and well.

“Just let us know that you are alright. That’s all I ask of you, Sarah.”

Sarah is described as white, 5ft 2ins tall, of slim build and with dark, medium-length hair.

She was last seen wearing white jeans, a white short-sleeved T-shirt with a thick black and white jacket, which had a dice motif on, and black ballet shoes.

Although she is 14, police and her family say she can easily pass for someone older.
