Investigators with the HRP/RCMP Integrated Vice Unit are seeking the public’s help in locating two missing Dartmouth youths.

Twelve-year-old Olivia Dawn Richard and 13-year-old Brianna Hope Richard were last seen on Gottingen Street yesterday at 4 p.m., after they left a family member’s residence.  They were reported missing to police at 4:45 p.m. after they failed to return to their Pleasant Street residence. They are believed to be together in the Dartmouth area.

Brianna is described as white female, 5'2”, 125 lbs., with long dark hair with blond and red streaks. She was last seen wearing a black hoodie, sweatpants and green and pink sneakers. Olivia is described as a white female, 5'2", 135 lbs., with long brown hair with blond streaks. She was last seen wearing light blue jeans, a grey long-sleeve shirt and white Nike sneakers.

There is no evidence to suggest that either girl has met with foul play but there are concerns for their well-being and safety given their young age. Officers request that Brianna, Olivia or anyone with information on their whereabouts calls police at 490-5020.
