Missing Porirua girl Jessica Ross was spotted last night in Titahi Bay by her father before she ran off again, police say.

Jessica, 15, has been missing since July 5 when she was picked up in a car by an associate, and police are increasingly concerned for her safety.

Porirua Senior Sergeant Derek Chapman told NZPA the sighting last night followed a sighting of Jessica in the Porirua city centre on Friday last week.

Police believe she is staying in the Titahi Bay area and Mr Chapman said the sightings were credible.

She is described as European, with shoulder-length hair, of slight build. She was last seen wearing dark blue jeans and a pink T-shirt.

Anyone with information on her whereabouts should contact Porirua police.
