Lake Country RCMP are looking for a young girl who went missing after running away from her home yesterday afternoon. Following a dispute with her family, 15-year-old Shelsey Leys left her house at 2 pm and has not been seen since.
Leys has autism, but is able to communicate well.

-
Caucasian, 5' tall, 90 lbs with a slim build
-
Light, sandy brown hair
-
Last seen wearing a blue jacket, skinny jeans and a light blue scarf
-
Shelsey left her residence on a small silver, pink and blue mountain bike.
