Leah is around five foot six inches in height with a slim build. She has long brown hair and was wearing black leggings, a grey long sleeved shirt, black Nike trainers, a black parka jacket with a fur lined hood and carrying a camouflage bag.

Police are carrying out extensive enquiries in their search, with officers in Falkirk also checking for any sightings of them.

The girls' parents confirmed all known places the girls frequent have been investigated with no further signs of their whereabouts.

Jasmine's mum Karine said: "Please ask your sons or daughters if they know Jasmine and if they have seen her or heard from her since yesterday afternoon. She had arranged for a friend to do her Snapchat streaks and she hasn’t been on social media herself since 4pm yesterday."

Inspector Steven Espie said: “We are growing increasingly concerned for the girls given their age and that fact that no-one has heard from them.

"We are checking relevant CCTV footage for any additional nformation and we are appealing to anyone who may have seen the girl to contact us.

"We believe they may have got on a bus and travelled to Falkirk and we are undertaking enquiries to ascertain if that is the case.”
