11 year old twins missing in Leicestershire

I have no connection to them but I've woke up and seen they haven't been found.

If you're local please keep an eye out. I believe the search and rescue operation is being conducted from Mountsorrel Memorial Centre if anyone wanted to help.

Leicestershire Police post
"Officers are currently searching for two 11-year-old girls missing from their Mountsorrel home – and are appealing for public help to find them.

Gracie and Millie Bennett were reported missing shortly after 8.30pm and both their family and police are concerned for their welfare.

Both girls are white, 4ft 8ins tall and of a slim build. They both have straight, dark brown hair below their shoulders.

Millie is wearing a black Nike Tec jumper, black jeans and white high-topped Nike trainers.

Gracie is wearing a navy blue hoody with the initials ‘MB’ on the chest, blue jeans and white Puma trainers.

One of the girls is also carrying a cream-coloured backpack, while the other may have a navy backpack with white spots.

Anyone who has seen the girls, or knows of their whereabouts, is asked to call 101, quoting incident 619 of 10 May.

This is all over my Facebook this morning, we are a couple of villages away from their home. Hopefully they are found soon.

PetersRabbitt · 11/05/2022 08:34

I hope they are found safe and well!

PetersRabbitt · 11/05/2022 08:36

How did they go missing from their home though? Run away, burgled or kidnapped? The police should really say as that changes the places someone would be on the lookout in.

Maybe they don't know

Presumably they have some idea if they A, know what time they went missing, B, what they were wearing, and C, that they were carrying backpacks.

MeltingCoffee · 11/05/2022 08:52

I hope they will be found safe and well soon.

ShirleyPhallus · 11/05/2022 09:07

The poor parents, I hope they are found safe and well soon

Hallyup89 · 11/05/2022 09:14

They look so miserable in those pictures. I hope they're found safe and well and I'm not reading too much into this.

That’s not a fair comment at all

PineappleWilson · 11/05/2022 09:18

I'm near this too, it was shared in our Fb group and the police helicopter was out overnight, so presumably they don't think they're with extended family or similar. It's really concerning they haven't been found overnight.

That sounds awful and hadn't crossed my mind. I hope they will be found very soon and have a safe and happy home to return to.

@KenAdams

They've been found.

freckles20 · 11/05/2022 09:32

Please can posters avoid things that could be taken as fact- The photos are standard and taken by their school.

Helicopter was not related to the girls, although that doesn't make this any less worrying

They don't look like official school photos.

They've been found.
That's fantastic news, where did you read this?

Sally090807 · 11/05/2022 09:39

They’ve been found, that’s great news, the news should be updated.

PineappleWilson · 11/05/2022 09:41

It's on Fb that they've been found.

@freckles20 people on our Fb page thinking the police helicopter was relating to catalytic converter thefts overnight got firmly told that the helicopter was out because of the missing 11 year olds in Mountsorrel, so it was a reasonable assumption for me to make.

kateluvscats · 11/05/2022 09:41

Where does it say they've been found?

You say they’ve been found, I hope you mean safe and well ?

They're not school photos considering the jacket and the phone.

It’s irrelevant whether or not they are school photos, the important thing is they are/have been found safe and well.

kingsleysbootlicker · 11/05/2022 09:53

The photos look like the ones a parent makes a child get before their first day back at school, my dd always hated this and her facial expression would be the same. Certainly wouldn't reflect her overall happiness but would provide a clear photo. I'm hoping they have definitely been found now and are safe and well

Chanel05 · 11/05/2022 09:55

They've now been found. Sky News.

ElenaSt · 11/05/2022 09:58

Found, thank goodness.

Time to take the iPhones away as even with parental controls they can easily be exposed to adult content and groomed.

KenAdams · 11/05/2022 10:15

Just came on to say police reporting they've been found. Such a relief for the family.
