Reported sightings of missing Blackpool teenager Paige Chivers have led police to a London suburb.

The 16-year-old has been missing from her Bispham home since August last year.

Recent television and press appeals have lead unconfirmed sightings of Paige and officers from Lancashire police have travelled to Sutton to pick up CCTV footage.

The lead came after a woman reported seeing Paige's distinctive Playgirl tattoo on her upper back outside a fast food restaurant in the town.

Detective Superintendent Kevin Toole, who is in charge of the investigation, said: "We are not getting excited as these sightings are from people who don't know Paige and have never met her.

"But it shows people are still interested and still trying to come forward and help, which is encouraging."
