A desperate search is underway for two young girls who vanished in the middle of the night, leaving a community on edge. Angelica, 11, and Verity, 12, were last seen together in the early hours of Saturday, and police are pleading for the public’s help.
The pair disappeared from the Newbold area of Rugby around 4am, and authorities say they are growing increasingly worried. Officials believe the girls are still together and may have ties to both Rugby and Cornwall.
Officers first put out an urgent appeal late Saturday, then followed up with a second plea early Sunday morning, releasing a more recent photo of Angelica. The image is being shared widely in hopes of sparking a lead.
“We are continuing to appeal for information to help locate Angelica and Verity,” a police spokesperson said. “They were spotted in the Newbold area of Rugby at around 4am, and we urge anyone who sees them or knows where they might be to call 999 immediately.”
The initial appeal read: “Have you seen 11-year-old Angelica and 12-year-old Verity? They were reported missing from Rugby this morning, and our officers are growing increasingly concerned for their welfare. They have links to Rugby and Cornwall.
Anyone with information is asked to call 999 quoting incident number 123 of 8 August.”
As the hours tick by, the question on everyone’s mind remains: where could these two young friends have gone?
