Police appeal: can you help find the four children who have disappeared from north London

Detectives are growing increasingly concerned about the welfare of four children who disappeared from their home in North London.

The siblings - Tyler, 11, Zeah, seven, Marley, six, and two-year-old Zinayah Jackman were last spotted leaving an address in Islington on September 16.

They have now not been seen for six days.

Officers believe the children are with their father Zion Jackman and grandmother Una Dolan.

The family have strong links to the West Midlands and Essex.

The children’s mother has shared a desperate appeal on social media, with a number of family pictures.

She wrote: “No mother should have to go through this so please share.”

Det Insp Paul Ridley, from the North Area Public Protection Unit, is leading the investigation for Scotland Yard.

He is now appealing for assistance from the public to help locate them.

Det Insp Ridley said: “It is absolutely crucial that we ensure the welfare of these young children.

“If you have seen them since their disappearance or know of their current whereabouts it is imperative that you come forward and tell my investigation team.

“My key priority is guaranteeing the safety of the children.

“Robust action will be taken if we become aware of any person intentionally assisting or facilitating their continued disappearance.

“I would encourage any person who wishes to come forward anonymously to do so.

“I can assure you that all information provided will be immediately followed up.”

Anyone who sees the children should call 999.

Anyone with other information on their whereabouts should call police on 101, or the Missing People charity on 116000, giving the reference number 21MIS027940.

Information can also be provided to Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111, or online at the Crimestoppers website.
