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.

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.

I want to know too. Did someone snatch them from their bed or what? It's terrifying.

Ah they've just been found.

So glad they've been found, it's weird as there was another set of twins who went missing earlier this week too, they were found safe & well.

Not sure you can look too much into a photo, my teenagers faces usually look like melted wellies in all photos Wink

Agree you can’t take too much from a photo. But I do think that it’s often natural for people to wonder whether the worst has happened in the case of missing children. Even if they don’t voice that thought.

Glad they’ve been found.

It looks like the kind of photo you would take if you were planning on cropping it for a passport or child performance licence etc.

Glad they have been found.

Did someone snatch them from their bed or what?

Very unlikely

Comefromaway · 11/05/2022 10:52

I'd have thought it highly unlikely two 11 year olds were tucked up in bed at 8.30pm

I also wondered where they were found. Six year old twins were missing a couple of weeks ago, but thankfully were found - also no info on that. This happens quite a lot . Do they go to visit relatives , do they get lost or what?
