DI Dan Pawson, who is leading the investigation said: ‘We are growing increasingly concerned for Taybah’s welfare.
‘She is a vulnerable young girl and I would urge anyone who has information about her whereabouts to contact us.
‘It has been four days since she was last seen and someone out there must know where she is.
‘It may be that people don’t feel comfortable talking to police in which case we would urge people to contact Crimestoppers anonymously.
‘We would also appeal directly to Taybah to get in touch with us to let us know she is okay.’
Anyone with information about Taybah’s whereabouts should call police immediately on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
