Police are on a desperate hunt for three missing children who are believed to be together on a possible camping trip, with concerns for their welfare growing.

South Wales Police issued an urgent appeal on Monday evening for information regarding the whereabouts of Emily, 13, Logan, 16, and Talisha, 12, who have been missing since Sunday, August 31.

The trio, all from the Pontypridd area of Wales, have sparked growing concern for their safety following their disappearance, with police asking the public to help them locate the children.

A spokesperson for the force suggested that the youngsters may have gone camping and could potentially be in or near Abercynon, which is seven miles from their home.

Emily is described as being five feet four inches tall with blonde shoulder-length hair. She was last seen wearing black leggings, a white crop top, a hoodie and a purple jacket.

Logan is five feet 11 inches tall and was last seen in a black tracksuit and black trainers.

Talisha, who is five feet tall, has long brown hair and was last seen wearing a black puffer jacket and black leggings, reports Wales Online.

Anyone with information that could assist the police in locating the three children is urged to contact them online or by calling 101, quoting reference number 2500281076.
