Desperate search launched for missing 12-year-old girl who police fear ‘could be with two men’

Isabelle Lindsay-Nandra, known as Bella, was last seen leaving school at 3.30pm on Tuesday.

An urgent search has been launched for a missing student who may be with two men.

Isabelle Lindsay-Nandra, known as Bella, was last seen leaving school at 3.30pm on Tuesday. Officers believe the 12-year-old, who lives in Bexleyheath, south-east London, took a bus to Woolwich and then traveled to King George V DLR station, where she arrived at 10pm.

The Metropolitan Police say she could either be with a man described as black, in his 20s and with a small beard. Police say his name may be Marshall or another name that begins with M.

The Met added that the girl may also be with another man, described as South Asian, who had a physical argument with the other man. Police said Bella had been missing before – but never for this period.

Bella is 5’7″ tall and was wearing her school uniform, a Canada Goose coat and blue suede boots with bows on the back when she disappeared. Officers said they were conducting investigations, including analyzing CCTV, to identify the men and locate the girl. Anyone who has seen Bella or has information about her is urged to call 101 or 999 for an immediate sighting.
