Police thank public for help as girl aged 7 and 10 reported missing are found

Two girls aged seven and 10 who were reported missing in Bransholme have been found, according to the headline of a Humberside Police update thanking the public for their help.

The girls were identified as Ellie, 10, and Dakota, seven. Police said they believed the children were together. The supplied account of the initial appeals does not contain the later update’s wording, so details beyond the reported outcome and thanks are not available.

The search began on Sunday, 8 November. Ellie was last seen at 9.20am in the Bransholme area of Hull, according to the initial police appeal. A further appeal concerned Dakota, who was last seen at about 12.30pm.

Police issued separate appeals for the children and shared descriptions and photographs of both. The force’s belief that they were together linked the two searches, while their last-seen times were reported separately.

The police headline says the girls were found and credits public assistance, marking a change from the earlier requests for help locating them. No further circumstances surrounding their disappearance or discovery are included in the available confirmed details.

The appeals concerned Bransholme, an area of Hull. Humberside Police was the force seeking information and thanking members of the public after the girls were found.
