       Detective Inspector Ridley said: "It is absolutely crucial that we ensure the welfare of these young children. If you have seen them since their disappearance or know of their current whereabouts it is imperative that you come forward and tell my investigation team.

       "My key priority is guaranteeing the safety of the children. Robust action will be taken if we become aware of any person intentionally assisting or facilitating their continued disappearance.

       "I would encourage any person who wishes to come forward anonymously to do so. I can assure you that all information provided will be immediately followed up."

       Anyone who sees the children should call 999.
