Police are growing increasingly concerned for a 19-year-old woman who disappeared beside a canal two days ago. Georgie was last seen walking along the Kennet and Avon Canal near The Barge Inn early on Saturday morning. Officers have been using a camera to scan the water as part of the search for the teenager from Bradford on Avon.

Description and appeal

Georgie is described by police as approximately 5ft 4ins tall with multiple piercings. A friend posted that she may be without shoes and a coat, adding: 'Georgie may seem confused. If anybody has seen her or does see her, please contact the police immediately. We are very concerned about her wellbeing.'

A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said the force was appealing to the public to check their CCTV and doorbell footage, stating: 'We are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare.'

We are particularly keen to hear from anyone living near the canal, or in the wider Bradford on Avon area, who may have CCTV, doorbell or other video footage from the early hours of Saturday.'
