A 15-YEAR-OLD girl believed to have run away with a fairground worker nearly three times her age is still missing, despite pleas from her family to get in touch.

Zara Thornber, from Harrogate, has not been seen since Thursday, when she was thought to have gone away with 41-year-old Michael Page.

Her father said the teenager had become "obsessed" with Mr Page after he came to town to work for a fair last August.

Police nationwide have been alerted.
