A teenager has gone missing from a Chelmsford children's home.

Eve Durrant, 13, was last seen at the Chignall Road home on Saturday. Although it not unusual for the youngster to leave the home on her own, police are concerned for her safety because of her age and time she has been missing.

Eve, from the Basildon area, is white, 5ft 2ins tall with very long brown hair, maybe tied in a bun. When last seen she was wearing a blue and white fleece jumper, black trousers and shoes, and a black choker-style necklace with a dolphin motif.
