An urgent appeal has been launched by the police to locate a 14-year-old girl, Talailah Francis, who was last seen two weeks ago. She disappeared from Whittlesford Service Station in Cambridge on Saturday, January 25, and is believed to have travelled to London.
The Metropolitan Police stated in a press release: "Since then there have been potential sightings of Talailah in Hackney, Lambeth, Enfield and Southwark. Police remain concerned regarding Talailah's welfare and are appealing to the public for assistance."
A CCTV image released by the police shows Talailah in what appears to be the capital, near an Oyster Card reader. The public is urged to call 999 immediately if they spot her, reports the Mirror.
It comes as the world's largest earthquake for two years rocked the Caribbean Sea, triggering potential tsunami warnings across neighbouring islands and countries.
Tsunami waves towering up to three metres above tide level are feared along some coastal regions in Cuba, while Honduras and the Cayman Islands could see waves reaching a metre high following the colossal 7.6 magnitude earthquake.
Despite the National Weather Service (NWS) cancelling tsunami warnings for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, they've urged locals to exercise caution near water due to unpredictable and powerful currents.
The Tsunami Warning Centre initially reported an 8.0 magnitude quake before downgrading it. The tremor was detected 209 km southwest of George Town in the Cayman Islands.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the list of islands and countries issuing potential tsunami threat warnings is extensive, including Colombia, Haiti, Belize, Saba, Aruba, Curacao, Costa Rica, the Bahamas, Cuba, the Cayman Islands, Panama, the Dominican Republic, the Turks and Caicos Islands, Honduras, Mexico, Bonaire, Guatemala, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Jamaica.
