A mother and her six-year-old daughter have been reported missing after disappearing four days ago.

Police are appealing for help in the search for 34-year-old Emma Malloy and her daughter Leah, who have been reported missing from Crieff, in Perth and Kinross.

Ms Malloy and her daughter were last seen in the town on Friday, however family members have not seen or heard from her since.

They were reported missing on Monday. Emma is described as 5ft 2in tall, of medium build with shoulder length dark hair. She is believed to be wearing a red coat.

Leah Malloy is described as 4ft in height with light brown hair. It is not known what clothes she would be wearing.

Police say Ms Malloy's disappearance is out of character and there is "therefore concern for Emma and Leah's welfare".

She has connections to the Leeds and Hull areas in England and possibly in the Edinburgh and Lothians areas.

Anyone with information that could help officers trace the pair is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101.
