Sussex Police have issued an urgent appeal for information regarding the whereabouts of two teenage girls, Sapphire and Chelsea, aged 12 and 14 respectively, who have been reported missing from Yapton and Worthing.
The pair were last seen at 6:43 pm on the previous evening and have not been sighted since.
Sapphire, described as 4’8″ tall with a medium build and brown shoulder-length hair, was last known to be wearing black and blue Nike Air Jordan trainers, black leggings, and a black jumper. However, it is believed she may have changed into a beige-coloured tracksuit jumper and Lion King-printed leggings.
Chelsea, standing at 5′ tall with a slim build and blonde shoulder-length hair, was wearing a grey tracksuit top and bottoms, along with grey and white Nike Air Jordans. Similar to Sapphire, Chelsea is believed to have changed into a beige-coloured tracksuit jumper and Lion King-printed leggings.
Authorities have urged anyone who sees the girls or has any information regarding their whereabouts to contact emergency services immediately by dialling 999. When reporting, individuals are asked to quote serial 1338 of 09/02 to ensure the details are properly logged and addressed.
The disappearance of Sapphire and Chelsea has prompted a widespread search effort, with authorities and concerned members of the community working together to locate the missing teenagers and ensure their safe return home.
As the investigation unfolds, Sussex Police are appealing to the public for their cooperation and assistance in bringing Sapphire and Chelsea back to safety. Any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could prove crucial in reuniting the girls with their families.
