Fears Grow For Missing Schoolgirls

Fears are growing for the safety of three schoolgirls who have all gone missing from their homes in the last week.

Two girls are from Bedworth and are believed to be in the Bedworth or Nuneaton area.

Clare Tyler, aged 14, of Smith Street, and Jade Bentley, aged 13, of Cashmore Road, both vanished on Wednesday.

Their worried parents have appealed for them to get in touch or call police on 024 7664 3111.

In a separate matter, police are looking for 14-year-old Samantha Jane Gardner, who was last seen in Myton Road, Leamington at 9.05am on Friday, outside the Blockbuster video store.

She is 5ft 3ins, medium build, and has dark brown cropped straight hair and brown eyes.

She was wearing a Myton School uniform: black shoes, black trousers, a red blouse and a v-neck jumper with the school logo.
