Families' heartbreak as three people announced as missing in Leeds within days of one another

Families in Leeds are beside themselves with worry this week as their loved ones remain missing with police on the hunt to find them.

This comes as three missing appeals were launched within days of one another earlier this week. These include 15-year-old Junaid Hussain, dearly missed dad Anthony Crosswaite and Polish tourist Kamil Bujanowski.

West Yorkshire Police launched missing persons appeals for all three during the week. None of the appeals are connected as far as we know but families are desperate to be reunited with loved ones, with Anthony's daughter Keelie Crosswaite telling LeedsLive her loved ones are in "absolute bits" as they continue to search for him.
