Police are appealing for the public’s help to find two teenage girls from Morocco who have been reported missing in London.
Douae, 14, and Houda, 15, were last seen leaving the hostel they were staying at in Tavistock Place, WC1 at around 20:30hrs on Tuesday, January 28.
Both girls had arrived in London on Saturday, January 25 for a week-long stay as part of a student exchange programme run by an independent company. They were due to return to Morocco on February 1.
Detective Chief Inspector Sarb Kaur from the Central North Command Unit said: “We are appealing for any information about Douae and Houda’s whereabouts. They have travelled from Morocco and are in a city and country that is not familiar to them, so the longer they remain missing then the greater our concern for their welfare is.
“A team of detectives is working tirelessly to locate them and we are liaising with the Moroccan embassy and the company who organised the visit to ensure their families in Morocco are kept updated with any developments.”
Anyone with information that could assist police is asked to call 101 or ‘X’ @MetCC and quote ref 01/7101825/25. For an immediate sighting of Douae and Houda please call 999 immediately.
