A Central Otago teenager has been reported missing after she was last seen getting off a school bus.

Caitlin, 17, left her Alexandra home on Tuesday and was last seen getting off a school bus about 8am.

Police and her family were concerned about her welfare, and issued a public plea on Wednesday to help find her.

“Police have been making enquiries to locate Caitlin and are seeking any information from the public which may assist in finding her,” police said in a Facebook post.

She was believed to be wearing a black jacket, black jeans, black boots and a dark green jersey.
