Police search for missing schoolgirl Lorna Vickerage, 14, after she disappears with car dealer John Bush, 35
Police are hunting for a girl of 14 who has disappeared with a 35-year-old convicted fraudster.
Lorna Vickerage ran away with ‘family friend’ John Bush three days after being taken from home and placed in foster care by social services.
Detectives urgently want to trace the ‘vulnerable’ teenager and are concerned about Bush because he is known to be a ‘liar, fraud and cheat’.

South Yorkshire Police say they do not know what his motives are for going off with the girl, but he is wanted for abduction of a child.
Lorna’s mother and father have appealed for her to hand herself in and stressed she is not in trouble.
Her father, Darren Griffiths, urged her to come home. ‘She’s quite independent,’ he said. ‘She’s usually quite sensible. But, obviously, I don’t know exactly what’s going off in her head at the minute.
