A missing mum and her toddler may be in Hackney, and police are appealing for help to find the pair.

Victoria Golding, 36, and her two-year-old daughter, Derona, were last seen at their home in Reighton Road, Upper Clapton on Monday (February 27).

Both have recently been seen in Hackney, around Mare Street and the area surrounding the Pembury Estate, but a Met Police spokesman said officers are “very concerned” for their safety and wellbeing.

Toddler Derona is described as having “a slim build with black hair”. And police have released a photo of Victoria, who is black, and has a slim build, with brown eyes and black hair.
