Police search for missing 16-year-old

MISSING: Nikala Jones

A 16-year-old girl who disappeared at Leopold three weeks ago remains missing, prompting police calls for public assistance to find her.

Nikala Jones was last seen at Leopold on 13 November and police have concerns for her welfare due to her age.

She is about 170cm tall with a solid build and black shoulder-length hair, which she usually ties up in a bun, according to police.

Police believe Nikala frequents the Geelong area.

On Monday police released an image of Nikala in hope someone recognised her and could provide information regarding her current whereabouts.

Police urged anyone with information about Nikala or her whereabouts to phone Geelong Police Station on 5225 3100.
