URGENT SEARCH FOR TWO MISSING GIRLS, AGED 7 AND 10, AS POLICE RELEASE CCTV IN HULL

Police have launched an urgent search for two young girls who disappeared hours apart in the Bransholme area of Hull, England, prompting an appeal for help from the public.

Ellie, 10, and Dakota, 7, were both reported missing on Sunday, November 8, 2026. Investigators believe the two children may be together, and officers are asking anyone who may have seen them or noticed anything unusual to come forward.

The search has drawn growing concern because of the girls’ young ages and the uncertainty surrounding their whereabouts.

TWO CHILDREN LAST SEEN HOURS APART

According to information released by Humberside Police, 10-year-old Ellie was last seen at approximately 9:20 a.m. on November 8, near Wawne Road in Bransholme.

Ellie is described as approximately 4 feet 3 inches tall, with shoulder-length mousey-brown hair.

At the time she was last seen, she was believed to be wearing a black cardigan, black, red and white trousers, and black trainers.

A second appeal was issued later that day for seven-year-old Dakota, who was last seen at around 12:30 p.m. on Noddle Hill Way, close to the junction with Wawne Road.

Dakota is described as white, approximately 4 feet tall, and of slim build. She was reportedly wearing a white striped playsuit and may have been barefoot.

Although the girls were last seen at different times and locations, police believe they could be together.

CCTV IMAGES RELEASED AS SEARCH INTENSIFIES

As officers worked to establish the children’s movements, CCTV imagery was released to assist the search and encourage anyone with potentially useful information to contact police.

The footage and photographs are an important part of the public appeal, as investigators seek to identify possible sightings and piece together where the girls may have gone.

Police are particularly keen to hear from anyone who was in the Wawne Road or Noddle Hill Way areas around the times the children were last seen.

Even a seemingly small detail could help officers establish a timeline or identify a possible sighting.

POLICE URGE ANYONE WITH INFORMATION TO COME FORWARD

Authorities are asking residents in Bransholme and the surrounding areas to remain alert and share any information that could help locate Ellie and Dakota.

Anyone who believes they have seen either child, or who has relevant CCTV, doorbell-camera footage or other information, should contact Humberside Police through its official channels.

The girls’ whereabouts remain the central concern as the search continues.

For now, the priority is clear: finding Ellie and Dakota and ensuring they are safe.
