The family of two Hungarian sisters missing in Aberdeen have said they are desperate for them to be found.

Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, originally from Hungary, were last seen in Market Street at Victoria Bridge at about 02:12 last Tuesday.

Police searches around the River Dee and banks downstream from the Wellington Bridge, involving divers, a helicopter and search dogs have taken place since late last week.

The sisters’ family said it had been a “worrying and upsetting time”.

In a statement released through Police Scotland, they said: “This has been a very worrying and upsetting time for our family.

“We are really worried about Eliza and Henrietta and all we want is for them to be found.

“If you think you might have any information which could help the police with finding Eliza and Henrietta then please pass this on as quickly as you can.”

They added: “We appreciate all the support our family has been given over the past few days and we would like our privacy to be respected at this time.”

The sisters, who are part of a set of triplets, are said to have moved to Scotland from Hungary 10 years ago.

They are described as white and of slim build, with long, brown hair.

Their brother, Jozsef, told BBC News their mother had been in contact with the women a few days before their disappearance.

Their other sister Edit also said she had spoken to them on New Year’s Eve and they appeared to be happy and cheerful.

She said it was out of character for them to be on the streets in the early hours of the morning.

CCTV footage from the area where Eliza and Henrietta were last seen is being examined by Police Scotland.

They were last seen crossing the Victoria Bridge and turning right onto a footpath next to the River Dee, heading in the direction of Aberdeen Boat Club.

Searches on Monday explored an area between Wellington Bridge and the South Harbour.

Ch Insp Darren Bruce said the river remained the focus of the search and there was “no evidence” of the sisters leaving the area.

He urged anyone who may have seen them or who has private CCTV or dashcam footage from the area to come forward and share information with officers as soon as possible.

He said: “Eliza and Henrietta’s family remain extremely worried about them and we are in regular contact with them as our searches continue.

“We know that people across Aberdeen are also seriously concerned for the two missing sisters and I would again urge anyone with information which could help to get in touch with us.

“Extensive efforts remain ongoing in the area, with specialist officers continuing to search on the banks of the river, while door-to-door inquiries are also continuing at homes and businesses in the surrounding area.”

Ch Insp Bruce added: “Even if it doesn’t seem significant, please pass any information on. Any piece of information could prove crucial.”
