This comes shortly after the disappearance of Julia Skala, who was later found by police and returned to her family safe and well. Here’s everything we know about Lilly-Marie and Jazmyn’s case so far.
Lilly-Marie and Jazmyn
Lilly-Marie Hollins, from East Malling, and Jazmyn Mansfield, from Barming, were last seen on Friday 23 February. Jazmyn is around 5ft tall, has a slender frame and long blonde hair. When she was last spotted, she was wearing light blue ripped jeans with a black bodysuit that had a cut-out to show her stomach. The teen wore a beige fur coat and black trainers, and carried a brown Louis Vuitton brown bag with a pink strap.
Lilly-Marie is a little taller at 5ft 2ins, and is also of slim build. She has long brown hair, and was last seen in her school uniform. The public are being urged to keep an eye out for the youngsters and contact the police if they have any information that could help.
Jazmyn’s mum has shared a message
The Kent Police have reason to believe that the girls may be in the Swanley area of Kent or in nearby Sidcup in south-east London. The teens have now been missing for four days, and the police have said that they are ‘concerned’ about their welfare.
A post from the force on X, showing photos of the pair, is already at 20.1K views, but the police are yet to find anything that they have shared with the public. One user, @rosbarnett7, posted on X to ask whether the girls are related, but this question has not yet been answered.
However, Jazmyn’s mum took to Facebook yesterday to make a plea:
I just want my beautifully talented little girl home. My heart's breaking.
This police will continue their search today.
