Sussex Police Appeal For Two Missing People

Sussex Police have issued appeals for two missing people.

Police are concerned for the welfare of 15-year-old Abigail Beach, who has been missing from her home since Friday.

The teenager was last seen at 1am on Friday (17 July) but officers have been unable to get in touch with her to confirm that she is ok.

She is white, about 5' 3" and of slight build. She has blonde shoulder length hair and brown eyes.

Inspector Philip Hogan said: "We need to find Abigail to check she is alright as she has been missing for more than 36 hours now.

"She knows people in the Hastings area who she could be with. If you have seen her or have any idea where she could be please contact us."



Police have also appealed for information on the whereabouts of Diogo Manuel Martins-Alves-Moreira.

The 29-year-old University of Brighton student has not been seen since Tuesday, 14 July, and was reported missing two days later.

He was last seen in the early hours of Tuesday morning leaving a friend's house near to Brighton railway station.

He is Portuguese and of average build with short dark hair and brown eyes. He has a Portuguese accent and is believed to have been wearing jeans when he was last seen.

Sergeant Alvin Lee said: "We are becoming increasingly concerned for Diogo as this is totally out of character for him.

"He has left all of his belongings, including his wallet with all its contents, and has not turned up for work this week.

"We urgently need to find him. If you have any idea where he is or where he could be, please contact us."



Anyone with information on either case is asked to contact police on 101, or by emailing 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk, quoting serial 857.
