Police Appeal to Locate 14-Year-Old Girl Missing From Leichhardt - Sydney, NSW
Smart summary
Sydney police and family are concerned for the teenager’s welfare after she was last seen in Sydney’s Inner West
Police are appealing for public assistance to locate a 14-year-old girl who has been reported missing from Sydney’s Inner West.
The teenager was last seen on Thornley Street, Leichhardt, at about 2:50pm on Tuesday, 6 October 2026. After she could not be located or contacted, officers from Leichhardt Police Area Command were notified and began inquiries into her whereabouts. Police and her family have expressed concern for her welfare because of her age.
Police are asking members of the public to remain alert and report any information that may help establish where the teenager has travelled since she was last seen. Investigators are examining available information and following inquiries to determine her movements and locate her safely.
Authorities have indicated that she may frequent several areas across Sydney and surrounding regions, including Oran Park, the Blue Mountains, Springwood and Ulladulla. This information may assist people in those areas to recognise anything that could be relevant to the search.
The police appeal is focused on locating the teenager and ensuring her safety. Because she is a minor, authorities are asking anyone who may have information about her whereabouts to contact police rather than attempting to approach or intervene themselves.
Missing-person investigations can involve checking locations where a person is known to spend time, speaking with family and friends, reviewing available CCTV footage and following information provided by members of the community. Police may also coordinate inquiries across different police commands when a missing person is believed to have travelled outside their original area.
The teenager was reported missing after contact with her could not be established. Police have not indicated that a criminal offence has occurred, and there is currently no confirmed information publicly indicating that she has been harmed.
Members of the public who believe they may have seen her are encouraged to provide information directly to police. Even information that appears minor can assist investigators in establishing a timeline and determining possible locations.
Anyone with information about her whereabouts is urged to contact Leichhardt Police Area Command or Crime Stoppers. Police have also reminded the public not to post information about the investigation through police social-media pages.
The search remains active as officers work with the family to locate the teenager.
