POLICE searching for a missing 15-year-old Doncaster schoolgirl have released an image of the man she is thought to be with.

Courtney Booth was reported missing last Saturday at around 11pm after she contacted her mother to say she was on her way back from Harrogate.

However, she failed to return to her home in Stainforth, Doncaster.

Police say inquiries carried out across Doncaster and North Yorkshire suggest that Booth is in the company of a 25-year-old Tom Fallon, from the Harrogate area.

Officers believe the pair are possibly in the Edinburgh area.

South Yorkshire Police said Booth had never gone missing before and concern was growing for her welfare.

Deputy Chief Inspector Jo Bates, who is leading the search, said: "Courtney is known to have been in the York and Harrogate areas over the weekend... and was last seen at York train station at around 3.50pm on Sunday, boarding a train to Aberdeen.

"There are a number of stops along the route and we are in the process of reviewing CCTV footage of each train station to establish where Courtney got off the train and where she then went.

"It's extremely unusual for her not to contact her family.

“Clearly, we are extremely concerned for her welfare and would ask anyone who thinks they may have seen Courtney since she was reported missing to get in touch with us straight away."

Courtney is described as white and slim with brown eyes and light brown shoulder-length hair.

Whilst in York, she was wearing blue skinny jeans, a black thigh length padded coat, with fur-lined hood, and grey and black jumper with a Nike emblem on the front in grey and white, and black trainers.
