POLICE are concerned for the welfare and safety of two teenage girls who have gone missing.

Jessica McCubbing, 14, and Olivia Joel, 13, were last seen getting on a rail replacement bus at Crawley Station just after 11am yesterday.

Their whereabouts are not known but police they may have been in the Enfield area of London overnight on Sunday into this morning.

Jessica is white, 5ft 6in with brown hair and blue eyes.

She was wearing grey jogging bottoms, a pink top, a camo jacket and a baseball cap.

Olivia is Afro-Caribbean, 5ft 7in with shoulder length black hair and brown eye and wearing a white strap top, navy puffa jacket and blue trousers.

There is increasing concern for Jessica and Olivia because although they left the address in Crawley where they have been living of their own accord, the circumstances are unexplained and they are very vulnerable due to their age.

Anyone who sees them or knows where they may be is asked to contact Sussex Police on 101 right away, quoting serial 0577 of 30/04.
