Wales On Sunday

POLICE BID TO TRACE TEENS

- ANDREW FORGRAVE Reporter newsdesk@walesonlin­e.co.uk

POLICE are growing “increasing­ly concerned” for three teenagers from different regions who have gone missing and are now believed to be together. Two girls have been unaccounte­d for for a week while a 17-year-old from Conwy disappeare­d six days ago.

Initially, individual report calls went out from several police forces before it came to light that their cases might be linked. Joshua, 17, who lives near Colwyn Bay, was recorded as missing shortly before 9am on Monday. He’s slim with short mousy hair and is known to wear glasses.

North Wales Police, Merseyside Police and Cheshire Constabula­ry are spearheadi­ng the inquiries into the disappeara­nces.

North Wales Police chief inspector Jeff Moses said: “We do believe that all three are travelling together and they may be in the Greater Manchester area.

“I’m appealing directly to all three to contact us to let us know that they are safe and well.”

Merseyside Police have put out repeated appeals concerning 15-yearold Ffion from Rainhill.

She was reported missing first on Friday, April 19, but was later spotted at Broughton Shopping Centre in Flintshire, last Sunday morning.

There have also been reports of her being seen near the Rocket Pub, Rainhill, on Sunday at around 3pm.

She is around 5ft 1in and has shoulder-length black hair which she wears in a slicked-back ponytail.

When last seen Ffion was wearing navy blue tracksuit bottoms and a navy blue sweatshirt, a black cropped puffer jacket, and white high-top trainers. She was also carrying a yellow JD Sports drawstring bag.

Also missing is 16-year-old Evelyn who was last seen at around 6.45pm last Sunday, in Warrington Road in Culcheth, Cheshire. Evelyn is around 5ft 4in and has short black hair with red tints.

Although she is currently living in Warrington, she is believed to have links to North Wales, Merseyside and Greater Manchester. She is believed to have a long dark-haired wig with her, which she may be wearing.

Evelyn was last seen wearing black leggings and black and white Jordan trainers with an orange tick.

In a missing person appeal launched earlier this week police said they were “increasing­ly concerned for her welfare”. This concern now extends to all three teenagers, said officers.

Chief inspector Moses added: “We are urging anyone who thinks that may have seen either Joshua, Evelyn, or Ffion since their disappeara­nce to contact us as soon as possible.”

North Wales Police is asking anyone with informatio­n about Joshua, Evelyn, or Ffion to get in touch through their live webchat service or by phoning 101 citing reference number 2400036330­3.
