Men in Charlotte CCTV 'row' found

Charlotte Pinkney vanished a week before her 17th birthday

Police searching for a Devon teenager who has been missing for more than two weeks say two men they wanted to speak to have now come forward.

The two men were seen on CCTV having a heated row with 17-year-old Charlotte Pinkney in Ilfracombe on the night she went missing.

Detectives say that part of the inquiry has now been dealt with.

But they still want to speak to a man who was wearing a knee-length raincoat who witnessed the row.

Detectives issued an appeal on Monday for the men or anyone who witnessed the incident outside the Prince Albert pub to come forward.

Forensic scientists are still examining the teenager's handbag, which was found in undergrowth last Friday.

Charlotte had the handbag when she went out on 27 February, intending to visit some pubs in Ilfracombe before going on to the party.

Police have been searching the area around the Slade Reservoirs

The leather bag was an accessory to a beige and cream thigh-length coat worn by Charlotte.

Concern grew when she failed to contact her parents on her 17th birthday a week ago.

Car abandoned

Charlotte was last seen getting out of a red Vauxhall Cavalier car near the Slade Road Community Centre in Ilfracombe at 0400 GMT.

She had been picked up from a party at a house in nearby Burnside Road between 0300 and 0330 GMT.

The car was abandoned in a small underpass near two reservoirs in the Slade Valley.

A 22-year-old man arrested in connection with her disappearance was released on bail last week and ordered to report back to police on 15 April.

The arrested man was the driver of the Vauxhall Cavalier car which dropped Charlotte off after the party.

Charlotte had been living with a boyfriend in Ilfracombe - she is 5 ft 2 in with long dark brown waist-length hair.
