POLICE have issued updates on those arrested in connection with the disappearance of Bradford woman Somaiya Begum.
Two men and one woman have been bailed from custody pending further enquiries, while another man remains in police custody at this time.
The 20-year-old was last seen at her home address on Binnie Street in Barkerend on Saturday afternoon around 2pm.
Police say she is known to the Barkerend area of Bradford and the Leeds Beckett University campus.
There have been no confirmed sightings or contact from her since and police are treating her disappearance as unexplained.
An industrial site on Thornbury Road, Laisterdyke, has been the focus of a police investigation since Saturday, according to witnesses, with a large cordon blocking off access to the site.
Police officers and crime scene investigators have been making enquiries at the scene throughout the week.
Meanwhile, a tent put up outside several shipping containers is still in place.
Officers also remain in Binnie Street, where two police cars can be seen parked outside a house and up a side alley.
The Telegraph & Argus understands a third address, on Harewood Street, is also a focus of their investigation as five police vehicles were spotted there this afternoon.
Somaiya Begum is described as an Asian female of slim build with black hair. She was last seen wearing black denim jeans, a black top and a black head scarf.
Detective Chief Inspector Marc Bowes, of West Yorkshire Police, said: “Over the past couple of days there have been extensive police enquiries across Bradford to find Somaiya.
“We are extremely concerned for Somaiya’s welfare, her disappearance is completely out of character.
“Specialist search officers, Neighbourhood police patrols, drones, and dogs have all been used in the investigation.
“Officers continue to trawl CCTV, conduct house to house enquiries and have spoken to several people in the area.
“Somaiya’s disappearance remains unexplained at this time.
“I would like to appeal to the community and to anyone who might know where Somaiya is or who has any information which might assist our investigation to come forward.
“We are also seeking anyone that may have any dash cam or CCTV footage available, in and around the area of Binnie Street or on Thornbury Road, on Saturday to come forward.
“I would like to reassure the community that we are doing everything we can to find Somaiya and the investigation is very much ongoing.”
