Police appeal for help tracing two missing Bangor teenage girls

14-year-old Amber Pollock and 13-year-old Bay Giltrap, both missing from Bangor, County Down

Police have issued an urgent appeal for information as efforts continue to trace two missing teenagers from the Bangor area who are believed to be together and may have travelled as far as Dublin.

Officers are seeking the public’s help to locate 14-year-old Amber Pollock and 13-year-old Bay Giltrap, who were last seen on Saturday, 11 April.

The pair are understood to have boarded an early-morning train from Bangor to Grand Central Station in Belfast, with police now investigating the possibility that they continued their journey south.

It is believed Amber and Bay may have travelled to Dublin, prompting a wider appeal to anyone who may have seen them either on public transport or after they disembarked in Belfast.

Urgent appeal for sightings after train journey

Police said enquiries carried out so far have established that Amber and Bay boarded the 11:11am train from Bangor to Belfast on Saturday morning.

The two young people are believed to be together.

Investigators are now appealing directly to anyone who was travelling on that service and may have noticed two teenagers matching their descriptions.

Officers are particularly keen to hear from anyone who saw where they went after leaving the train at Grand Central Station.

The appeal extends beyond Belfast amid concerns they may have continued on to Dublin.
