A MISSING mother and daughter could be busking on the streets of West Yorkshire.

Single mum Jennifer Coyne, 35, and her nine-year-old daughter, Katherine, have not been seen since they left their home in Stroud, Gloucestershire, on September 3.

They are thought to have caught a bus to Bradford and could now be anywhere in West Yorkshire.

Police say they took several musical instruments with them and Jennifer may be busking.

Sgt Neil Gibbs, of Stroud police, said: "The police know of no reason to account for the sudden disappearance of Jennifer or Katherine.

"We do not believe there are any reasons at this stage to fear for their welfare, but for everyone's sake we would like to make sure they are safe and well."

Jennifer's father, David Young, said: "We are at a loss to explain why Jennifer has gone off like this.

It is very out of character."
