COPS are desperately hunting for an eight-year-old girl missing after a trip to McDonald's with a family friend and an unknown man.

Tiolah, known as Tillie, hasn't been back home since leaving with her neighbour at about 3pm yesterday.

The youngster left her Bedminster, Bristol, home with Annmarie Lawton with a man known only as Adam.

She was expected to be back within an hour after a visit to a nearby fast food branch. Her mum reported her missing at 7pm, four hours later.

Cops have said neither Tiolah or Annemarie, 29, have come home since and are treating her disappearance as an abduction.

Tiolah is described as white, with blonde hair. She was wearing black and white polka dot leggings and a black jacket and had a light-coloured rucksack.

Annmarie is white, with long red hair, about 5ft 6ins tall. She was wearing a black bomber jacket with a fur collar, black leggings and black trainers.

The man is described as in his 20s, about 5ft 6ins tall and stocky with a round face, olive skin and a bald head.

He was wearing jeans, a dark grey zip-up hoody and a beanie hat and in the pictures has a light brown padded jacket on.

Annmarie has links across the greater Bristol area and they may be using public transport.

DCI Ed Yaxley said: “We have no evidence that Tiolah has come to any harm but she has now been absent from home without her mother’s permission for more than 12 hours.

“Annmarie, if you see this, please contact us straight away. We just want to return Tiolah safely back to her family.”

If you know where Tiolah is now, call 999 straight away, quoting reference 5220282127.

If you have any other information about her whereabouts, or the identity of “Adam” ring 101 and give the same reference.

This morning, after issuing an abduction appeal, police were seen taking a man and sobbing woman into custody in Bristol.

A member of the public called officers after they spotted the man and woman, along with Tiolah, inside Bristol's Broadmead Shopping Centre just after 9am today.

The couple appeared to be "arguing", and the schoolgirl seemed unhurt and well, sources said.

It took police just minutes to arrive, and the pair were collared by cops in the nearby Galleries shopping centre, it was said.

A man, who witnessed the pair being taken into custody, said: "Someone who saw them said they looked like they were arguing, and the little girl was with them.

"They said that she seemed fine [the girl] when she was with them, but when they got apprehended she seemed quite upset. She was taken away safely by police.

"The man was walked down Union Street, and the woman was put in the back of a police car.

"She was talking to the police. They were both quite vocal with the police. I don't know what they were saying though. The best news is that the little girl is safe."

Officers were seen talking to the pair - carrying a plastic bag containing what appeared to be children's toys - before putting them in a patrol car.

A MAN and woman have today been charged with child abduction after an eight-year-old girl vanished in Bristol for 18 hours after a trip to McDonald's.

Annmarie Lawton, 29, and Ismail Qurba, 25, were at the centre of the hunt for the youngster after she left home at around 3pm on Wednesday.

Qurba and Lawton have now been charged with detaining a child so as to keep her from a person having lawful control of her, which is an offence under the Child Abduction Act of 1984.

They will appear at Bristol Magistrates' Court today for a virtual hearing, police confirmed
