Police have launched an urgent search for two teenage sisters in Yorkshire who were last seen carrying suitcases.

CCTV Footage released by West Yorkshire Police shows Halima Ahmed, 15, and Khadeeja Ahmed, 14, wearing dark clothing and headscarves as cameras caught them near their home in Halifax.

Both girls were carrying small and bright hand luggage-sized suitcases that appeared to be silver and pink.
