Fears are growing for two teenage girls who have been missing for five days after they disappeared together.
Officers are concerned for the wellbeing of Vanesa Magyarova, 15, and Amanda Ditrichova,14, who were last seen at around 10pm on Saturday.
Vanesa was last spotted in the Chaddesden area of the city while Amanda was last seen in Normanton, Derbyshire.
A Derbyshire Police spokespersons said: "Officers are concerned for the safety of two teenage girls from Derby who it is believed have gone missing together.
"Anyone with any information about the whereabouts of the pair should contact Derbyshire police immediately."
Vanesa is described as being 5ft 6ins tall with wavy, shoulder length black hair and is likely to be wearing a puffer jacket.
Amanda was wearing black leggings and a dark jacket when she went missing and has long, straight dark brown hair.
Call police with information on 101.
The charity Missing People has said in the last month it has seen first-hand the impact of coronavirus and self-isolation on people going missing and their loved ones, with the charity seeing a surge in people seeking support.
Compared to an average for the five months previous, this has included:
- 35% increase in a Live Chat service aimed at vulnerable children and young people
- 22% increase in requests to publicise a missing person
- 15% increase in contacts to the 24/7 Helpline from children and adults who are missing or are at risk of going missing
The charity expects further increases in the weeks ahead and a trend to greater use of digital channels to access support, particularly from children and young people.
Once the wider impact of coronavirus on the economy is felt in the months ahead, Missing People is concerned that financial issues may well contribute to more adults going missing to escape their problems.
