Police are searching for a man and his twin sons who have been missing from Croydon, south London, for more than 24 hours. Fazal Hossenbux, 54, was last seen with the two six-year-old boys at 3.30pm on Tuesday at a children’s nursery in the Thornton Heath area.
The Metropolitan police said they were concerned because the man suffers from a number of health issues, but did not give further details. They have appealed for help from the public to determine the whereabouts of Hossenbux – who is known to frequent the Southend-on-Sea area – and his sons.
He is described as Asian, 1.67m (5ft 6in), with receding grey hair and a grey beard. His sons are named Farden and Farhan.
The police said that Fazal, who is separated from the twins’ mother, had been given permission to pick the boys up from nursery. He was expected to collect them and return them to her home but has vanished with them.
Anyone who has seen Hossenbux or his sons, or may have information about their whereabouts, is asked to call the police on 101 or the Missing People helpline on 116 000.
