Urgent search for two teens missing for a week last seen 40 miles from home

Two teenagers who have been missing for nearly a week have been spotted boarding a bus while carrying camping equipment.

Isabelle and her boyfriend Daniel, both 16, have been missing from their homes in Cardigan, Wales, since April 7.

The pair left without their mobile phones, having ‘ditched’ the devices on a bus, according to Daniel’s father.

They were spotted in Llandunno, a coastal town in north Wales, at 8.20pm on April 10 asking for directions to Dolgellau.

The police said this evening that there had been a new confirmed sighting of the two last Friday.

Isabelle and Daniel were seen catching the T1 bus at 12.36pm in Aberystwyth, nearly 40 miles away from Cardigan.

The T1 goes between Carmarthen and Aberystwyth.

‘It is believed that they have taken camping equipment with them and have connections to the Gloucestershire, Merseyside and North Wales areas,’ the force added.

‘Their families are increasingly concerned for their safety and welfare and eagerly await their safe return home.’

Daniel’s father, Dave, told WalesOnline that he speaks with his son twice a week on Skype

‘Dad’s here waiting for both of you, just get in touch. Your relationship will carry on and we will support it,’ he told the news outlet.

‘Just get in touch so we have you here safe and sound and then we will look at the future for both of you, which is a good future.’

Isabelle is described as 5’3″ with blonde hair but may have dyed it darker.

She was last seen wearing a black parka coat with a fur edge, grey jogging bottoms and carrying a black backpack.

Daniel, who is thought to be around 6’1″, has short dark brown hair with shaved sides.

The teenager was last seen wearing dark blue jeans, a black t-shirt and a black collared coat.

But given they both were seen carrying large bags, detectives believe they likely changed into something else.
