Fears Grow for Missing Teenager


Girl last seen in Putney. Told relatives she was going to Shepherd's Bush

Police are growing increasingly concerned regarding the whereabouts of a 15 year old girl from the Netherlands who has gone missing whilst visiting family in London.

Hani Iman, who is of Somali origin but lives with her family in The Netherlands, came over with her mother and sister to visit her aunt in Wembley last week.

On Friday 7th May Hani got a travelcard and went, alone, to see another aunt in Putney. After staying there for a short time she left telling her aunt that she was going to Shepherds Bush. This was at 18:00 hours and she has not been seen or heard of since.

She does have a mobile phone, however it can’t be used as there is no sim card. She can travel with her card but she has no money or any means to get any.

As far as police know she has never gone missing before. She only knows family members in Britain and all of these have been contacted by police. Therefore due to her age and her unfamiliarity with London police are concerned for her safety.

Hani is black, approx. 5 feet tall with stocky build and shoulder length black hair. She was last seen wearing a long black jumper and brown boots. She also has a pink stud in her nose and a pink stud in each ear.

She speaks fairly good English, as well as Dutch and Somali.

Anyone with information should contact the Control Room at Kilburn police station on 020 8733 3720.
