Police are seeking help from the public after three teenage siblings vanished in Essex.

Tullulah-Belle, 16, Lily, 13, and George, 15, were last seen at around 5pm on January 4.

The trio were together when they vanished and police say they are growing increasingly concerned about their safety.

The teenagers have links to the Wincanton and Milborne area.

In a statement, Avon and Somerset Police said: "Lily is white, approximately 5ft tall, of slim build, with long, brown hair and green eyes.

"George is white, approximately 5ft 5ins tall, of slim build, with short, brown hair and light-coloured eyes.

"Tullulah-Belle is white, approximately 5ft 4ins of slim build, with long, light brown / blonde hair and blue eyes."

The force has turned to social media for help in finding the teenagers.

In a post on X, they said: "We are appealing for the public's help to find missing three siblings who are thought to be in Somerset.

"If you see them, please call us ref 5225004247."

The search comes as authorities hunt for two missing British men who vanished while hiking in Italy.

Aziz Ziriat, 36, and Samuel Harris, 35, both from London, have not been heard from since January 1 after sending messages home.

They both missed their flight back to the UK on January 6.

Alpine Rescue, Guardia di Finanza Rescue, Carabinieri and the local fire brigade are working together to find the missing Brits, but heavy snowfall in the area means progress has been slow.

Authorities have said it is highly unusual for hikers to vanish at this time of year.
