The search for two sisters who went missing in Aberdeen has entered its second week.
Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, 32, were last seen on CCTV on the city’s Market Street at Victoria Bridge at about 2.12am on Tuesday January 7.
They crossed the bridge and turned right on to a footpath next to the River Dee heading in the direction of Aberdeen Boat Club.
Extensive searches have been carried out in recent days, with the police helicopter, dog branch and the marine unit among the specialist resources involved.
Police said they are focusing on the River Dee as there is no evidence of the missing women leaving the immediate area.
On Monday the family of the missing sisters released a statement appealing to anyone with any information that could help in the search to come forward.
“This has been a very worrying and upsetting time for our family,” the statement read.
“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.
“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 two women, who are both described as white and of slim build with long, brown hair, are part of a set of triplets and are originally from Hungary.
Police Scotland said they have the support of police in their home country, who are liaising with the wider family.
The sisters’ brother, Jozsef, has told the BBC that their mother spoke to the pair on the first Saturday in January and that nothing seemed out of the ordinary with them.
Police have urged anyone with any information to contact them.
Chief Inspector Darren Bruce 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.”
The family of missing sisters Eliza and Henrietta Huszti has urged anyone with information to contact police nearly a week after they were last seen in Aberdeen.

“Even if it does not seem significant, please pass any information on. Any piece of information could prove crucial.
“We have been working to gather all the available CCTV footage from the area but if anyone has private CCTV or dashcam footage from around that time please get in touch.”
