Judge launches hunt for four children from Llanelli

A High Court judge has launched a nationwide hunt for four missing children, aged between eight and 14.

Mr Justice Roderic Wood said Jessica, Tomas, Eva and David Palacin Jones were thought to be with their mother, Jennifer Jones.

He said the children had gone missing from Ms Jones' house in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, and "must be found".

They are part of a legal dispute between Ms Jones and her estranged Spanish husband, Tomas Palacin Cambra.

The judge said the children had been with Ms Jones but should have been returned to their father's home in Spain.

"I am very concerned about the children," he said at a hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London on Tuesday.

"They must be found. I ask anyone who knows where they are or might have seen them to tell this court or the local police."
