Major appeal to find missing 11-year-old boy who disappeared outside Poundland after being separated from mum
A MAJOR appeal has been launched to help locate an 11-year-old boy who went missing outside of a Poundland in London.
Hillingdon Police said the missing child was last seen on Station Road, Hayes after he was separated from her mum outside the store.
Police said: “Ibrahim is an 11-year-old missing child who accidentally got separated from their mum.
“Last seen outside Poundland, Station Road Hayes Missing since yesterday evening.
“Ibrahim is not in any trouble with the police or parents, just needs the community to help locate them ASAP.”
The youngster has been missing since Monday evening.
It comes after a Portuguese woman who was last spotted at the Notting Hill Carnival on Monday has been found in hospital.
Patricia Araujo’s aunt Claudia Sousa has told The Sun her younger relative had been admitted to Surrey County Hospital in Guildford after being spotted by a member of the public.
The missing woman’s concerned family had called in police and made social media appeals for help after a last sighting of her on Monday.
The 26-year-old Portuguese hotel receptionist in Ashford, Kent, was pictured the previous day dancing at the famous three-day London festival.
Two police forces, Kent Police and the Met Police, had been searching for her.
Claudia said Friday: “We have just been told Patricia has been located and she is in hospital.
“We would like to thank everyone for their concern and for helping us by responding to the appeals we’ve made.”
Claudia, 41, said earlier: “We are beside ourselves with worry. We are concerned someone could be holding her against her will.”
Patricia last contacted relatives on Sunday morning with her family fearing she had been “kidnapped”.
Her loved ones previously said the 26-year-old’s disappearance was “very out of character” and urged her to get in touch.
Patricia’s aunt Claudia Sousa told KentOnline: “So many days have passed by that we’re thinking about if she has been kidnapped.
“So many bad things happen at the carnival.”
Before midday on Sunday, Patricia told her cousin to say she was at the carnival “having fun” – the last contact made with family.
Her phone was found on the floor by a DJ who then contacted her loved ones on Tuesday.
Sousa said Patricia was alone at the carnival and so the family posted on TikTok to say she was missing.
Another attendee sent them a video and a picture of Patricia from Sunday.
Sousa said the same woman saw her on Monday at 5pm without her jacket.
Her aunt added her mum was “crying all the time”.
