West Yorkshire detectives searching for missing Irish teenager Leanne Tiernan have admitted for the first time that they are fearful that she has come to "serious harm".

The 16-year-old, who lived in Bramley, went missing on November 26 after a Christmas shopping trip in Leeds with her best friend Sarah.

She has not been seen since leaving her friend at a bus stop to walk through unlit wasteland.

1,400 house-to-house inquiries have been made in the eight weeks since Leanne's disappearance, with police divers continuing with river searches and canal dredging in the area.
