Your support makes all the difference.Police are appealing for the public’s help to locate a mother and her three-month-old baby who vanished after leaving a hotel 10 days ago.
Anka, 29, and the baby were reported to Bedfordshire Police after leaving the Travelodge Luton, shortly before 11am on 17 October.
Police said they have become concerned for their welfare and on Sunday launched an appeal for the public’s support in locating Anka and her baby.
Police described Anka as wearing a black zip up top, jeans and black trainers when she vanished. She was carrying a red and green bag.
A Bedfordshire Police spokesman said: “We would urge the community to avoid speculating and sharing misinformation around this case.
“The best way to support our efforts is to share our appeal and report any sightings immediately.”
You can do report any sightings by calling 101 or reporting online quoting reference 256 of 23 October.
