Police Search For Missing Teen Mum And Baby

Police in Bristol have appealed for information about a missing teenage girl and her baby daughter.

Tinishya Marshall, 14, and her 11-month-old daughter Sophie have not been seen since leaving their home in the Greystoke Avenue area in Southmead last Friday.

Police said that Tinishya said she was going to the shops and took her daughter with her in a pink pram.

It is understood that the teenager was spoken to by a relative shortly afterwards and reminded that Sophie's feed was due.

They were seen in Greystoke Avenue at 3:30pm on Friday afternoon, but have not been seen since.

Police said it is believed that Tinishya may be with a teenage boy who has also disappeared.

They are also concerned about the welfare of Sophie, as none of her belongings or change of clothes were taken, except for her pink pram.

Tinishya is described as white, 5ft 2ins tall, of heavy build, with dark brown shoulder length hair, which is usually tied up. When last seen, she was wearing a black velour tracksuit with a white top underneath. Sophie was wearing a red velour tracksuit.

The missing teenage boy is described as white, 16 years old, 5ft 5 ins tall, with short, mousy brown hair, who was wearing black tracksuit bottoms, a white T-shirt and white trainers.

Police believe that Tinishya and Sophie may be in North Somerset or have travelled to Devon.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on: 0845 4567000.
