Police are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of two young people who were last seen in the Banbridge area around 24 hours ago.

Augustus (13) and Renee (14) were last seen around 7pm last night and have not made contact with police, friends or family.

The PSNI said: “They may also be in the Newry, Warrenpoint or Dromore areas.

“Renee is wearing a black North Face bodywarmer, pink long-sleeve O’Neill’s top, black leggings, black trainers and hair is in a ponytail.

“If anyone sees these two children or has any information that could assist police could they please contact police on 101 quoting reference number 1235 13/08/24.”
