Anyone who knows Rodel's current whereabouts is asked to come forward.

She is described as white, 5ft 6ins tall with long brown hair possibly tied in a pony tail and grey/blue eyes. It is believed she is wearing dark trousers and a dark coloured jacket

Chief Inspector Gill Marshall, Local Area Commander for Stirling, said: "We believe that Rodel may have travelled West to the Glasgow area and we want to locate her as soon as possible to ensure she is alright.

"Anyone who has seen her since late on Tuesday evening, or knows where we can find her should contact police immediately.

"Likewise, I'd ask that Rodel also get in touch to confirm with us that she's safe."
