Barking and Dagenham’s Metropolitan Police account tweeted yesterday evening (January 30): “Roxana, 19, is missing- last seen leaving a hotel in Highbridge Road Barking around 8pm on 29 January, with her baby – believed to be around 5 days old.

"Roxana is believed to be wearing dark coloured cheetah print joggers, a white polo t-shirt, a dark zip-up jumper, and carrying Sports Direct bag.

“Police are concerned for Roxana and her child’s welfare – call 101 ref 22MIS003380 if seen.”

The Government website states that there are a number of alternative organisations for reporting a missing person.

These include Missing Persons Unit, Missing People, Missing Kids UK, and Look For Them.

It continues: "If the police find a person aged under 18, their parents or guardians will usually be told their whereabouts unless police believe the child’s safety is at risk.

"If the person is aged over 18, the police will not pass on their whereabouts without their permission.

“If you spot a missing person contact the police.

“If you want to remain anonymous, you can contact Missing People to report the sighting .”
