Appeal to find missing family

The police have asked for the public's help in finding a family of four who have gone missing after failing to turn up for a court hearing.

Police in Enfield in north London said they were growing increasingly concerned about the safety of the couple and their two children.

Czimi Ibrahim and his wife Dhuata, went missing from their home in Enfield with their daughter who is three and their son who is four months old, hours before they were due to attend a court hearing.

The parents, both of whom have Albanian backgrounds, were seen driving off with the children in their green Citroen car, just after noon on Thursday.

A spokeswoman for Enfield council said officials were concerned for the welfare of the children and the priority was to find them.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said the family had never previously gone missing.
