West Yorkshire Police have released a photo of a missing Todmorden teenager who they think has been spotted in Stretford
The CCTV picture shows Katelan Coates getting off the 591 bus from Todmorden to Burnley as it arrives at the terminal in Croft Street, Burnley at about 9.15am on 28 March.

The 14-year-old left the bus in the direction of the town centre and has not been seen since she was reported missing later that day.
Enquiries into her disappearance suggest she has since been seen in the Stretford area of Manchester.
Officers from Calderdale District are continuing to work with police from Greater Manchester and Lancashire to locate Katelan, who is described as being about 5ft 5ins tall and of medium build.
Detective Chief Inspector Mike Cox of Calderdale Police, said:
“Extensive searches have been ongoing to locate Katelan and we continue to appeal to anyone who can help us find her to contact us.
“Katelan’s parents are of course very worried for her and desperately want her home. They want to stress she is not in any trouble and should not be afraid of getting in touch with the police or them.
“As time goes by we clearly grow more concerned for Katelan’s welfare, as we would for any 14-year-old child away from home for so long.
“I would ask anyone who can assist our enquiries to contact West Yorkshire Police via 101 or use the Live Chat facility at www.westyorkshire.police.uk/contactus, quoting log 0509 of 28 March.
