SECOND PHOTO OF MISSING 5 YEAR OLD ***PLEASE SHARE***

There are reports tonight that a five-year-old girl called April Jones has gone missing in Machynlleth in mid Wales this evening.

Local reports sug
gest police are stopping motorists in the area in a bid to find the child who went missing at about half past seven this evening.

April was last seen playing her bike with friends near garages at her home in Machynlleth. Her friends say they saw her get into a light coloured van which then drove off. Police are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare. Anyone with information should call 101.

Local businessman Shem ap Geraint is one of the many people who've left their homes to join the search.

He told ITV Wales News:

Pretty much the whole town is out looking. Other local towns are joining in as well.

We are searching local woods. The local leisure centre is acting as a base.

Police are checking all vehicles leaving the town.
 
Please see the below statement from Det Superintendent Reg Bevan:, of Dyfed Powys Police, which is being circulated by all police forces at their request:
“It is still early days in the investigation and we are still speaking to witnesses to gather as much info as possible. These witnesses are children and speaking with them is a delicate and time consuming process.

“I would like to return to the description of the vehicle, and I am mindful that we are still in the process of speaking to these children, so I am anxious that we only provided as accurate information as possible.

“What the witnesses have told is that the vehicle looks like a van, they describe it as small at the front and large at the back, so it could be interrupted that this could be something similar to a Ford Connect type van or a Landrover.

“Furthermore April has been described as getting into the driver’s side of the vehicle. This may be because she got in with the driver or that it is left hand drive vehicle.

“We still believe that the van is grey or light coloured, but again these things can be affected by failing light and street lamps.

“We are following expert advice and research which says that in situations like this you concentrate your searches in the immediate area and then widen it out. This is what we are doing.

“If you were in the area of Bryn y Gôg yesterday evening at around 7pm or you recognise the additional information about the van we have provided please call the incident room on 0300 2000 333. And please get in touch if you have any footage which may assist in our inquiries. If any pieces of information trigger something please get in touch. ”
