Moroccan exchange students, 14 and 15 missing in central London
Two Moroccan teenage girls in London on a student exchange trip have been reported missing, police have stated.
According to Sky News on January 30th, Douae, 14, and Houda, 15, were last spotted leaving their hostel in Tavistock Place at around 8.30pm on Tuesday January 28th.
The Metropolitan Police have said they arrived in London for a week-long trip on January 25th, on a student exchange programme run by an independent company.
They are due to return to Morocco on February 1st.
Detective Chief Inspector Sarb Kaur has stated the metropolitan police are appealing for information about Douae and Houda’s whereabouts.
“They have travelled from Morocco and are in a city and country that is not familiar to them, so the longer they remain missing then the greater our concern for their welfare is.”
“A team of detectives is working tirelessly to locate them and we are liaising with the Moroccan embassy and the company who organised the visit to ensure their families in Morocco are kept updated with any developments.”
