• Police are appealing for help to find Jamie-Lee Harvie from Ayr, Scotland 

A 12-year-old girl has been missing for more than a week ‘without a trace’ as police believe she has no phone or access to a bank account. 

Jamie-Lee Harvie from Ayr, Scotland, disappeared on Tuesday March 14 after she was last spotted by a family member at Irvine Train Station at around 3.30pm.

There was also an unconfirmed sighting of her near Irvine Royal Academy at about 7pm on Saturday – but since then there have been no further reported sightings.

Police have described her disappearance as ‘extremely concerning’ and are conducting extensive searches. 

They are urgently appealing for information to make sure she is safe.

Police are concerned about her disappearance and are appealing for information

Chief Inspector Kevin Lammie, Ayrshire Division, said: ‘All her family and friends want is for Jamie-Lee to be found safe and well.

‘At 12 years old, Jamie-Lee is just a child, one year out of primary school, and she has now been missing without a trace for a week, which is extremely concerning.

‘Thankfully, at this time, there is nothing to suggest Jamie-Lee has come to any harm.

‘We have a team of dedicated officers who have been speaking with her family and friends, who we believe hold the key to finding her.

‘We are conducting extensive searches at addresses in the Ayr and Irvine areas, but so far, there has been no further information as to her whereabouts. 

‘We don’t believe she has a mobile phone with her or access to a bank account.’

Jamie-Lee is described as white, around 5ft tall, of medium build and speaks with a local Ayrshire accent.

She has long, light-brown hair and when last seen she was wearing black leggings, a black jumper, a black puffer jacket and black trainers.

‘I would like to hear from anyone in North Ayrshire, particularly in Irvine, who may have seen Jamie-Lee or been in her company recently. 

‘We would urge you to contact officers immediately with any information that could help with our enquiries.
