POLICE in Cardiff have taken over responsibility for finding missing 12-year-old Hannah Parkin.

Hannah, who was living with her father in The Highway, New Inn, was last seen at home on November 9.

She has since been seen in the Fairwater area of Cardiff, where her mother, Claire Crookdale, lives.

Detective Sergeant Ieuan Watkins said yesterday: "Hannah is still missing. We have been working closely with colleagues in the Fairwater area of Cardiff and have good grounds to suspect she is now staying at an address in that area.

"Fairwater police have now taken over responsibility for locating Hannah and we hope they will be able to find her shortly."

Hannah is described as being 4ft 10in tall, white, of medium build, with brown shoulder-length hair.

She was last seen wearing a black knee-length coat and jeans.
