POLICE have renewed their appeal for information to trace a teen who went missing from foster care in a village near Chepstow.
Na Dang, 14, disappeared from a home in Sedbury between 6.30am and 8am on Tuesday.
Det Insp Richard Pegler said today: “Na had been in Sedbury for less than 48 hours having been found with a Vietnamese family in Bristol last weekend and it may be the case that she has tried to reunite herself with them.
"We don't know how she left Sedbury but I believe it’s likely that she headed for Chepstow perhaps to catch a train or a bus.
“Alternatively, she may have arranged to be picked up in a car.
“A child's scooter has been taken from a neighbouring garden and it’s possible she may have used this to leave the immediate area.”
She is originally from Vietnam and has a south-east Asian accent.
She was wearing lilac leopard print pyjama bottoms and a navy blue puffa coat with a fur hood and blue and white Converse trainers when she went missing.
Na is 5ft 2 tall with long straight black hair.
A Gloucestershire police spokesman described Na is "intelligent and resourceful" adding that she posed no risk to the general public.
Anyone with information is urged to call 101, ask for Gloucestershire Police and quote the incident number 158 of May 1, 2015.
