Police have issued a heart-wrenching plea after officers continue to search for a missing mother and her three young children.
To help with the search, Gloucestershire Police has released a photograph of 31-year-old Jessica in a hopeful bid that the small family will be found. So far, the force has said that it's received a number of calls with potential sightings, and hope that the photograph will encourage members of the public to come forward with more information.
Anyone who has seen Jessica and her children - Pauly-Boi, Jolene and Betsy - are urged to make contact by calling the police on 101 and quoting incident 343 of March 22. If the public happen to be present with them, they are asked to call emergency services on 999. Alternatively, people with information can contact the Missing People charity on 116 000
Officers are concerned about the welfare of three-year-old Pauly-Boi, five-year-old Jolene and eight-year-old Betsy, who were reported missing from Cheltenham.
The children, who are believed to be with their mother Jessica, were last seen at 12pm yesterday, Friday March 22, with their whereabouts unknown. Pauly-Boi has dark blonde hair, Joelene has mousey brown hair and Betsy has long blonde hair. It is currently unknown what they are wearing. Meanwhile, Jessica is described as being tall, of a slim build and has a pale complexion.
