Mum begs for help to find missing girl, 14, last seen at train station as she urges daughter to ‘pick up the phone’

THE mum of a missing girl last seen at a train station has urged her daughter to “pick up the phone”.

Hanna Balcer, 14, was spotted at New Barnet station at around 8pm on April 24 after leaving her parents’ home in London.

In a heartfelt statement, her mum, Izabela, said the family urgently needed the public’s help to locate the missing teenager.

She said: “Hanna’s family are beside themselves with worry and desperate for information on her whereabouts.

“She is just 14 years old and her father and I are naturally very concerned about her safety.

“We urgently need the public’s help to find her.

“Please take a look at these images we are making public today and reach out to the police if you have seen Hanna or have information about her whereabouts.

“Hanna, if you’re out there reading this, then please pick up the phone.

“Your family loves you and we are anxious to make sure you’re all right.”

Hanna has brown hair, is about 5ft 5ins, and was last seen wearing a dark tracksuit and black trainers and carrying a black rucksack.

Cops have described her disappearance as “completely out of character”.

Detective Inspector Mark Young, from the Met’s North West Missing Persons unit, said: “Hanna’s disappearance is completely out of character and her family are understandably incredibly concerned.

“Local officers have been carrying out a number of enquiries in an effort to trace her and we are now turning to the public for help. Please get in touch if you have seen Hanna.

“While there is no suggestion she has come to any harm or is in any immediate danger, as time passes we are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare and just want to bring her home safely.”

Hanna has links to Barnet, Shepherd’s Bush and Ladbroke Grove.

Cops believe she may be travelling across London.
