Police are looking for a 14-year-old Crown Heights resident who has been missing since last Thursday, January 9.

The missing teen is Jenna Alexa Hospedales, a freshman at  Brooklyn Technical High School. She was last seen a little after 3:00, walking into the Fulton Street G train subway station after leaving school.

Her family says she is not very active on social media and that she does not date.

Jenna is 5-foot-8 and weighs 118 pounds. She was last seen wearing blue jeans and a black jacket.
