Appeal to help find missing Rotherham teenager

POLICE have appealed for help finding two teenage girls who have not been in contact with their families since last week.

Missing Patricia Zupkova, of Eastwood, is believed to be with friend Diana Horvathova, from Leeds.

South Yorkshire Police is working with officers in West Yorkshire following unconfirmed sightings of the Slovakian 15-year-olds in Leeds and Bradford.

Patricia has dark brown wavy shoulder-length hair. She was last seen around 1pm on Boxing Day at her home on Bramwell Street, wearing silver/grey jogging bottoms and sweatshirt.

Diana is described as 5ft 2ins tall, slim, with long brown hair and blonde highlights. She has a tattoo on the right of her neck of her initials DH.

Diana was last seen on Christmas Eve at her home in Leeds wearing a red long-sleeved top with black chequered pattern, light blue jeans with tears on both legs and black Nike trainers.

Both girls have been missing before. Det Insp Steve Ashmore said: “Our numerous enquiries to date have failed to locate these two girls but we are doing all we can to find them as soon as possible.

“I would urge people to look out for any of the four and let us know if they think they see them, or know where they maybe.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting reference CX3811 of 2013.
