| (35 minutes later) | |
| A search is under way for a missing 14-year-old girl believed to have left home to meet a man she met online. | |
| Emily Wicking was last seen at about 16:00 BST in Eston, Cleveland, on Thursday. A team of 30 officers are trying to find her. | |
| Police are appealing to hotel, bar and bed and breakfast workers, who may have seen her to get in touch. | |
| Supt Alistair Simpson, of Cleveland Police, said he believed Emily thought she was in love, but may be in danger. | |
| She is slim, about 5ft 8in, with light brown, shoulder-length hair. | |
| "I think Emily thinks she may be in love with this person and in a relationship with him and it's possible that she could be in danger at this point in time", Supt Simpson said. | |
| "We don't know if Emily is still in the area or may have travelled out of it and if so how." | |
| He also urged taxi and bus drivers, as well as campsite and bed and breakfast owners, to be vigilante. | |
| It is believed Emily was wearing a grey hoodie, blue jeans and a body warmer with fur around the hood. | |
| Anyone who has seen her is asked to call 999. | Anyone who has seen her is asked to call 999. |
