Hunt continues for missing five-year-old Molly Owens believed to be with her father who is wanted by police

A manhunt has been launched for a five-year-old girl who is believed to be with her father who is wanted by police.

Molly Owens is thought to be with Brian George Owens, 26, who has a warrant out for his arrest after he failed to turn up for sentencing at Caernarfon Magistrates' Court in North Wales on Friday.

Mr Owens was due in court to be sentenced for three counts of assault by beating of the same woman on three different occasions.

Molly, who lives in Anglesey, is described as having collar-length blonde hair and blue eyes. 

It is not known what she is wearing at the time she disappeared but she sometimes wears pink glasses.

Mr Owens, of Maes Cyttir, Holyhead, is described as being 5ft 9in and of slim build with short brown hair and blue eyes.

North Wales Police said they are working with colleagues at British Transport Police and neighbouring forces to find the father and daughter.

Chief Inspector Sharon McCairn, of North Wales Police, said: “We are concerned for Molly's whereabouts and are appealing to anybody who may have information to contact us.

”Equally, I am issuing a direct appeal for Brian Owens to make contact with us to let us know that both he and Molly are safe and well.“

Anybody with information is asked to contact North Wales Police.
