Police are continuing to appeal for information regarding a missing teenager from Calderdale. 

Katelan Coates (14) was reported missing from the Todmorden area of Calderdale on Monday evening (10/07). 

The last confirmed sighting of Katelan was at Manchester Victoria Train Station at 18.34pm on Monday evening, arriving on the 18.09pm train from Todmorden Train Station. 

It is believed she left Manchester Victoria on foot and walked into the city centre, past the Football Museum towards Selfridges. 

Katelan is described as white female, with shoulder length brown hair wearing a beige top, black furry coat, black leggings and sunglasses.

 

Detective Inspector Rob Stevens of Calderdale District Police said: 

“A significant amount of police work continues to locate Katelan who was initially with another missing girl who has now returned home safe.

“She has been missing since Monday and the longer she remains away, the more our concern for Katelan’s welfare grows, as does that of her parents who desperately want her home.

“I urge residents to please remain vigilant and keep watch for Katelan who we believe may still in the Greater Manchester area and is likely to be seen on foot or using public transport.

“Our officers are continuing to work alongside her family and we continue to ask for anyone who has seen or heard from  her to get in touch to help us bring Katelan home safely.

“Anyone with information on possible sightings of Katelan or anyone who may have been in contact with her is asked to contact police without delay via 101LiveChat or by calling 101 quoting reference 1522 of 10th July.”
