POLICE are appealing for the public’s help to trace two girls who have gone missing from Hoddesdon.

Konnie Chapman, aged 11, and Ruby Mae Pavli, aged 15, were last seen at their home addresses in the west of the town, near to The Sun pub, between 12 noon and 1pm yesterday (Friday 2 August).

Extensive enquiries are continuing today and officers are doing all they can to trace the girls.

If you have seen or spoken to either Konnie or Ruby Mae since they were reported missing, you have seen them in the last few moments or you are with them now, please call 999 immediately quoting ISR 4 of 3 August.
