A schoolgirl has been missing for nearly a week after heading to Glasgow to stay with friends.
Eva Brown was last seen on August 9 leaving a family member’s home in Winchburgh, a village 10 miles west of Edinburgh and 31 miles northeast of Glasgow.
Her family heard from her on August 11 before she went silent, fuelling ‘extreme concern’ for the 14-year-old’s whereabouts.
Eva is described as white, 5’6″ in height and of slim build with medium-length brown hair.
The force says it has renewed its missing person appeal amid false reports saying she has been found.
Inspector Richard Homewood said: ‘As time passes, we continue to be extremely concerned for 14-year-old Eva’s safety and wellbeing.

‘We are aware of misinformation online that Eva has been traced. She has not.
‘She is still missing and extensive searches and enquiries are ongoing to trace her as soon as possible to ensure that she is safe and well.
‘Eva is known to frequent Glasgow City Centre, Aberdeen, Mallaig, West Lothian and Whitley Bay in Northumbria and we are liaising with colleagues in these areas. I would urge anyone who has seen her or who has any information on her whereabouts to contact us as soon as possible.
‘We would also ask Eva, if she sees this appeal, to please make contact with us to let us know you are safe.’
