A BIRMINGHAM teenager has gone missing for a second time – sparking concerns from police that she may be “exploited”.

Nicola Grobler, 14, was last seen leaving an address in Harborne on August 17, saying she was going to visit a friend in Walsall.

The South African-born schoolgirl, whose mum lives in Northfield, vanished barely a month after being found on the day her image was used to help launch a new campaign to locate runaways.

On that occasion, Kate McCann, the mum of missing Madeleine McCann, posed in front of a picture of her at the city Bullring complex.

Acting Det Insp Dave Amos said: “We have some confirmed sightings of her in central Birmingham and most recently Stechford but her mother is desperately worried she hasn’t made contact.

“If anyone knows where Nicola is, or believes they have seen her, we’d urge them to contact us or the Missing People charity.”

Nicola is white, around 5ft 7ins tall with long wavy brown hair, a fair complexion and blue eyes.

Anyone with any information about her whereabouts should call Birmingham South Police on 101 or Missing People on 116000 via phone or text.

So why hasn't Kate made another appeal? What exactly does she do in her role?
