Isla remains missing

Police continue to appeal for public assistance to help locate the missing woman Isla.

The 19-year-old was last seen in Brunswick on 4 October.

A number of social media posts have been made from members of the Hills community area stating Isla is known to travel in Belgrave and the Dandenong Ranges.

Many are highly worried about the young woman’s welfare and are sharing posts about her from the Meri-Bek police Eyewatch Facebook page.

As of Friday 10 October, a police media representative said that unfortunately at this stage Isla is still missing.

“Currently – there are no further updates,” they said.

Police and family have concerns for her welfare due to the length of time she has been missing – it has now been two weeks.

Isla is described as slim build, with red hair, a pale complexion and nose, lip and eyebrow piercings.

Police said Isla may have travelled into the Melbourne CBD and have released an image of her in the hope someone can provide information on her current whereabouts.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Brunswick Police Station on 8378 6000.
