Footage analysed for missing girl

Charlotte Pinkney: Searches of two reservoirs have turned up nothing

Police are analysing closed circuit TV footage in the hunt for a Devon teenager, missing for 10 days.

Charlotte Pinkney, 17, vanished after being dropped off near a friend's house after a party in Ilfracombe.

Sixty Devon and Cornwall officers are now involved in the hunt for the teenager, who had her birthday on Saturday.

Two reservoirs in the area are being searched by police divers and house to house inquiries are continuing.

Posters with details of the youngster have been put up around Ilfracombe.

Her parents appeared at a police news conference in Exeter on Monday to appeal for her to get in touch and for anyone with information to come forward.

Driver bailed

A police spokesman said they were becoming increasingly concerned about Ms Pinkney following a lack of response to those appeals.

A 22-year-old man arrested in connection with her disappearance has been released on bail.

The man, detained on Sunday afternoon, was ordered to report back to the police on 15 April.

The man arrested was the driver of a red Vauxhall Cavalier car which dropped Ms Pinkney near a girlfriend's house in the resort at 0400 on 28 February - it was the last time she was seen.

She was reported missing by her parents on Thursday, and concern for her heightened when she failed to make contact with her parents on her birthday.

Ms Pinkney , who had been living with a boyfriend in Ilfracombe, is 5 ft 2 in with long, dark brown waist length hair.

She was last seen wearing a cream leather thigh length coat, black t-shirt and beige checked trousers.
