Missing girl 'may be in West Midlands' with man

Tomas Baker has been urged to "do the right thing"

A girl missing from south Wales for over three weeks may be in the West Midlands or Staffordshire, police have said.

She went missing from her home in Rhydyfelin, Pontypridd, on 15 August.

West Midlands Police said she may be with a Staffordshire man, Tomas Baker, 20, from Tamworth.

Police have launched a nationwide search, and are treating her disappearance as child abduction.

Officers have raised the possibility of her being in the Midlands, given that Mr Baker had lived locally.

"She may be in the West Midlands or Staffordshire," West Midlands Police said in a statement.

Tomas Baker's mother also made a direct appeal to her son, saying: "Your sister 'boo' and me are worried sick.

"Please do the right thing and if you are with anybody you should not be with, then please take them to the nearest police station or being the good man you are Tom - make them do the right thing in contacting who they need to contact.

"Tom we all love you and miss you deeply. Please, please think and do the right thing."
