Urgent appeal to find missing mother and son, 8, in Leeds

An urgent hunt is underway for an eight-year-old boy and his mother who have vanished from West Yorkshire.

Lyndsey Craven, 45, and her son Daniel Becic were last seen in Armley, in Leeds.

West Yorkshire Police have now appealed to the public to look for the pair.

The schoolboy was last spotted in a pair of white Nike trainers, grey jogging bottoms and a stripey jumper.

The boy was also wearing a white, grey and yellow and blue jacket.

‘Concerns for missing mother and son from Armley, Leeds,’ a statement from the police said on social media.

‘Lyndsey Craven, 45, and Daniel Becic, eight.

‘Daniel is wearing white Nike trainers, grey bottoms, stripey jumper, white, grey and yellow and blue jacket. Log 806 23-02 refers.’

The Leeds community shared their concern for the mother and son under the police post on Facebook.

Claire Durrant, who claimed to have known Lyndsey since primary school, wrote: ‘I hope Lyndsey and her boy are ok. I have known her since primary school but unfortunately not seen her for many years. Please let someone know you are ok.’

Jackie McDonald added: ‘I hope they are both safe and well, whatever is wrong please let some one know that you and your son are safe. Make sure you keep the little man safe.’

The police post has been shared more than 500 times in just a few hours, but there is still no word on the two.
