Andrea Bardas, 16, has not been seen since December 21 when she left for school in Barnet in the morning but did not return home at the expected time of 1pm.
Step-dad Philip said he and her mum are desperately trying to find her.

“Christmas was two days of her parents sleeping in our lounge close to the front door in the hope that she would come back home.
“We have never left the house empty at any time [so someone is there if she comes home] and just want her to return safely.”
Philip added he thought she may have been taken by an “out of town” gang.
He said: “I think that’s what may have happened.
