Two arrested on suspicion of kidnapping in connection with missing Sandwell woman

The two men arrested are aged 32 and 37, and from West Bromwich and Wolverhampton.

Police are meanwhile continuing their searches for the missing 26-year-old woman, who has now not been seen for 10 days.

Lidia, who was born in Romania, was last seen on the evening of Wednesday 19 November in West Bromwich.

Police say she has been in the UK for about a year and stays at addresses in Smethwick and Foleshill, Coventry.

As part of the investigation a property in High Street, West Bromwich, has been sealed off by police while forensic enquiries are carried out.

Superintendent Rich Youds, said: "Investigations into Lidia's disappearance are continuing, as a result of which officers arrested two men who are currently being questioned.

"We are also carrying out searches at a property in West Bromwich as part of our enquiries. We are increasingly concerned for Lidia's welfare and continue to appeal for help and information concerning the whereabouts of Lidia.

"It is completely out of character for her to go missing. She has not contacted her friends or her family, so we are urging anyone who has seen her to get in touch."

Lidia is described as a 4ft 11ins tall white woman, with a slim figure, black shoulder-length straight hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a black jacket and white jeans.

Anyone with information should contact police on 101 or alternatively information can be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
