Police issue urgent appeal for info on missing London girls, 15 and 16, last seen six days ago

Police have issued an urgent appeal for the whereabouts of two teenage girls missing for six days.

Alliyah Montaque, 15, and 16-year-old Lina Bennacef were last seen in Walthamstow, north-east London at around 3.10pm on Wednesday, April 13.

The teenagers are thought to be together and may be with an older teen with links to south London, according to the Metropolitan Police. 

Alliyah’s older sister Destiny, 18, said it was extremely out of character for her not to make contact for this long.

She said Alliyah’s phone was confiscated the night before her disappearance, so she has no way of reaching out.

Destiny told MyLondon: ‘I haven’t seen my sister in days..

‘They’ve gone off together, we don’t know where they are at all.’

Alliyah is also thought to be without a change of clothes. 

The 5’7 15-year-old was last seen ‘wearing blue jeans, a cropped puffer jacket, and white [Nike] Air Forces’, her sister added.

Alliyah’s cousin Nadine tweeted last Thursday that her relative ‘left her home in Leyton’ and hasn’t been seen since.

Anyone who sees Alliyah or Lina should call 999 immediately. Those with information about where they are can contact police on 101, giving the reference 6276/13APR.  

Information can also be provided to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, or to the Missing People charity on 116 000.

The Metropolitan Police added: ‘Officers are also appealing to Alliyah and Lina directly to contact the police, or someone they trust, to let us know they are safe if they are able to do so.’
