TWO LITTLE GIRLS, AGED 7 AND 10, FOUND SAFE AFTER URGENT POLICE SEARCH IN HULL — CCTV APPEAL SPARKED A COMMUNITY-WIDE SEARCH
Two young girls, aged just 7 and 10, have been found safe after an urgent police search prompted concern across Hull, England.
Humberside Police launched appeals on Sunday, November 8, after the children were reported missing separately in the Bransholme area. Officers believed the girls might be together and asked members of the public to help locate them.
The search ended with welcome news: both children were found safe.
TWO CHILDREN DISAPPEARED HOURS APART
The first appeal concerned 10-year-old Ellie, who was last seen at approximately 9:20 a.m. near Wawne Road in Bransholme.
Later that day, police issued a second appeal 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.
Because the girls had disappeared from the same general area, officers believed they could be together.
POLICE RELEASED CCTV AND ASKED FOR PUBLIC HELP
As the search intensified, police released CCTV imagery and appealed for information that could help establish the children’s whereabouts.
The appeals quickly drew attention, with residents and members of the public encouraged to share the information and report any possible sightings.
With two very young children missing, every piece of information was potentially important.
THE SEARCH ENDS WITH RELIEF
Fortunately, the situation had a positive outcome.
Both girls were found safe on Sunday evening, November 8. Local reporting confirmed that police thanked the public for their help following the appeals.
Authorities have not publicly shared further details about where the children were found or the circumstances surrounding their disappearance.
A COMMUNITY RELIEVED
The hours between the first appeal and the eventual announcement were undoubtedly worrying for everyone concerned.
The most important update is that Ellie and Dakota were both located safely.
What began as an urgent search for two missing children ended with the news their families and the wider community had been hoping for.
