North Yorkshire Police says enquiries are ongoing in both Harrogate and Leeds. West Yorkshire Police is assisting with enquiries in the Harehills area of Leeds, while the girls are also known to have links to Pontefract, York, Selby and Boroughbridge.

Leah was last seen wearing dark grey joggers, a pink top and black trainers with a pink Nike tick. Grace was last seen wearing black running shorts, a black Levi top and cream grey fabric trainers, and was carrying a black shoulder bag.

A new photograph of Grace released by North Yorkshire Police last night (Saturday) includes clothing - a blue two-piece outfit - that she may now be wearing. A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police added: "Police remain very concerned for the welfare of the teenage girls and are urging anyone who sees them or knows where they are to get in touch without delay.

"Please contact North Yorkshire Police on 101 with fresh information or dial 999 with any immediate sightings so we can make sure they are safe. Please quote reference number 12230150141 for Leah and 12230150145 for Grace."
