York Regional Police say they are searching for a missing 17-year-old girl from Markham.

Police say Ayra Nawaz was last seen on Sunday, shortly after noon, walking alone from a plaza near Cornell Park and Bur Oak avenues.

“We have her on video surveillance there. She was walking in that area, attended the plaza and then walked away. And that’s the last we saw of her,” said Cst. Andy Pattenden, media relations with York police.

She has not been seen or heard from since, investigators said.

Nawaz is described as a South Asian girl who stands five feet four inches tall and has a medium build. She was last seen wearing a black T-shirt with a gold “North” logo, black track pants and black-and-white sandals with a Michael Kors logo in gold.

Police said they, along with family members, are growing concerned for her well-being.

Cst. Pattenden said they believe Nawaz has left the Markham area and is somewhere in the north Toronto area.

“Our investigators are working tirelessly on this, trying to figure out where she is, but we need the public’s help. We need the eyes out there,” said Pattenden.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the York Regional Police at 1-866-876-5423 ext. 7541 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
