A Sutton printing company has donated thousands of flyers in a bid to help find missing schoolgirl Tia Sharp.

Gadsby & Mustoe Ltd, based in Lind Road, donated 10,000 flyers of the missing 12-year-old.

Concerned volunteers handed out leaflets yesterday at Sutton train station.

Posters have also been put up in shop windows in the area.

Tia, from Pollards Hill in Merton, was last seen leaving her grandmother's house in New Addington in Croydon at about 12pm on Friday.

The schoolgirl, who lives in Pollards Hill, Mitcham, was going to the Whitgift Centre to buy shoes.

She had a small amount of cash with her but did not have her Zip card- a child’s Oyster card, or a mobile phone.

Tia, who has never been missing before is white, of slim build, 4ft 5ins tall and was wearing glasses with her hair tied back.

She was last seen wearing a yellow bandeau top over a white bra with visible cross straps, light grey leopard-skinned leggings and black and pink Nike high top trainers.

Anyone who has seen Tia or knows of her whereabouts should call Merton Police on 101 (quoting reference 12MIS025216); or Missing People on 116 000.
