Everything we know so far as police continue search for missing Rawan Hussain

Here is everything we know so far:

Rawan Hussain was reported missing at 1pm on Sunday.

She was last seen at her home in Chapel Allerton at about 5am that day.

Rawan is Asian, 4ft 9ins tall, of medium build and with curly dark brown hair.

She usually wears a headscarf and may have been wearing a black coat and Nike trainers when she went missing.

Huge police search in north Leeds:

Officers combed Gledhow Valley Woods on Monday in connection with the search.

Pictures show a large police presence as officers cordoned off the woods and part of Gledhow Valley Road.

At 5.15pm, police released an update to say they had concluded the search of the woods after new information came to light.

The search was moved to another area of Leeds and the enquiry is believed to be continuing this morning.

'Out of character' for Rawan to go missing:

Chief Inspector Richard Padwell, of Leeds District, said “It is out of character for Rawan to go missing like this and we are very concerned for her welfare.

“Her family are understandably upset and we are doing everything we can to support them as we continue with our efforts to find her.

“We would like to hear from anyone who has seen her or anyone fitting her description in the area or elsewhere at any point since she was last seen."

How to contact police:

Anyone with information is asked to contact officers via 101 quoting log number 905 of April 26 or online via the 101 chat service.
