Officers believe she may be travelling across London. Detective Inspector Mark Young, from the Met?s North West Missing Persons unit said: ?Hanna?s disappearance is completely out of character and her family are understandably incredibly concerned. ?Local officers have been carrying out a number of enquiries in an effort to trace her and we are now turning to the public for help. Please get in touch if you have seen Hanna. ?While there is no suggestion she has come to any harm or is in any immediate danger, as time passes we are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare and just want to bring her home safely.? Hanna?s mum, Izabela, said: ?Hanna?s family are beside themselves with worry and desperate for information on her whereabouts. ?She is just 14 years old and her father and I are naturally very concerned about her safety. ?We urgently need the public?s help to find her.
