Urgent hunt for three children after they 'vanished on camping trip' in Wales

An urgent hunt is under way for three missing children who are thought to have vanished on a camping trip.

South Wales Police confirmed on Monday evening, September 1, that they had still not located 13-year-old Emily, 16-year-old Logan, and 12-year-old Talisha, who are believed to be together and have been missing since Sunday, August 31. All three are from Pontypridd, Wales, and concern for their welfare is intensifying as hours pass without any confirmed sighting. Officers believe the trio could have gone camping and may now be in or near Abercynon. The force is continuing efforts to track them down as appeals grow for information.

Emily is described as 5ft4 inches tall with shoulder-length blonde hair. At the time of her disappearance she was wearing black leggings, a white crop top, a hoodie, and a purple jacket over the top. Logan is reported to be 5ft11 inches tall and was last seen dressed in a black tracksuit and black trainers. Talisha is around 5ft tall, has long brown hair, and was wearing a black puffer jacket and black leggings when she was last seen.
