South Wales Police has released a description of Lexi in the hopes of finding her
Concern is growing for the welfare of a missing teenager. South Wales Police have launched an appeal to find missing Lexi, who was last seen on Sunday, June 22. The 17-year-old is missing from the Cwmdu area of Swansea, and officers have now asked the public for their help in locating her.
She was last seen at 7pm on Sunday, and was last seen wearing tie-dye black and grey leggings, and high-top Converse branded trainers. Police hope by releasing her description that anyone who may have seen her will come forward with information.
A statement from South Wales Police read: “Help us find Lexi, 17, from Cwmdu, Swansea, has been reported missing and there is concern for her welfare.
“She was last seen 7pm last night (Sunday, June 22) wearing tie dye black and grey leggings, a hoodie and chunky high-top Converse trainers.

South Wales Police says it receives, on average, more than 8,000 missing persons reports every year.
It says a missing person is defined as someone whose whereabouts cannot be established, and that they will be considered missing until they care located and their wellbeing or otherwise is established.
Its website reads: “Often the missing person themselves does not consider themselves ‘missing’, however until they are sighted safe and well by police as a result of the concerns raised for them, they will be classed as a missing person.”
It adds: “While we appreciate our communities’ concerns when a person goes missing, and the genuine offers of help and support, we kindly ask that the public don’t conduct their own searches.
“We ask this for a number of reasons; our searches are coordinated by highly-trained, well-equipped search experts who take an intelligence-led, methodical approach which everyone involved understands and follows.”
