British police in Cambridgeshire, north of London, have renewed their appeal for information about a missing 17-year-old girl who was born in Latvia.

After several reported sightings of Alisa Dmitrijeva in the Wisbech area, police investigating her disappearance are again asking the public for help. A family member reported her missing on Sept. 6, but she was last seen shortly after midnight Aug. 31 on Friars Street in King’s Lynn.

The area from which Dmitrijeva went missing is about 100 miles (160 kilometers) north of London. Besides Wisbech, she has ties to Peterborough, Lincon and King’s Lynn, according to a Sept. 23 press release from Cambridgeshire Constabulary.

“We have had a couple of potential sightings of Alisa in Wisbech and we are really keen to get those confirmed,” said Det. Chief Inspector Melanie Dales. “Her friends and family are very worried as they have not seen or heard from her for three weeks. I would urge anyone who has seen Alisa since August 31 to contact police.”

Dmitrijeva is described as 5 feet, 6 inches tall (1.67 meters), with collar length dark brown hair with blonde highlights. However, her hair may now be darker with a fringe.

Persons with information about Dmitrijeva’s whereabouts may telephone Cambridgeshire police at +44 0345 456 456 4 or, anonymously in the United Kingdom, through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

With 95 percent of voting districts reporting, provisional results of the snap parliamentary election in Latvia show that the center-left and pro-Russian party Harmony Centre (Saskaņas centrs) looks to claim 34 seats in the 100-member Saeima.

Harmony Centre received nearly 29 percent of about 870,000 votes cast in Latvia and abroad, according to the results tabulated by the Central Election Commission in Rīga.

In second place is ex-President Valdis Zatlers’ Reform Party (Zatlera Reformu partija) with almost 21 percent of the vote, followed by Unity (Vienotība), nearly 18.5 percent; the National Association (Nacionālā apvienība “Visu Latvijai!”-“Tēvzemei un Brīvībai/LNNK”), almost 13.6 percent; and the Union of Greens and Farmers (Zaļo un Zemnieku savienība), a bit more than 12 percent.

The results suggest Zatlers’ party will get 22 seats in the Saeima, Unity will keep 19, the National Association will get 13 and the Greens and Farmers will take just 12.

None of the eight other parties—including the one led by oligarch Ainārs Šlesers—received enough votes to top the 5 percent barrier for inclusion in the Saeima.

Now politicians will start discussions about forming a new government, with the key question being whether Harmony Centre will get a seat at the table.

Police in eastern England are seeking the public’s assistance in locating a 17-year-old girl who was born in Latvia.

Alisa Dmitrijeva of Wisbech was last seen the evening of Aug. 30. Wisbech is in Cambridgeshire and is about 100 miles (160 kilometers) north of London. The following day, Sept. 1, she was seen in Friars Street in Kings Lynn, which is about 20 kilometers northeast of Wisbech.

She was reported missing by a family member on Sept. 6, according to a Sept. 13 press release from Cambridgeshire Constabulary.

““It is not unusual for Alisa to stay away from home for several days but she always stays in touch with her family,” Det. Inspector Jon McAdam said. “We are concerned for her welfare and I would urge anyone who saw her on the day or has seen her since to contact police.”

Police also are asking Dmitrijeva to let them know where she is.

Dmitrijeva is described as 5 feet, 6 inches tall (1.67 meters), with collar length dark brown hair with blonde highlights.

Police have been checking closed circuit television footage and making house-to-house inquiries in the Wisbech area.

Persons with information about Dmitrijeva’s whereabouts may telephone Cambridgeshire police at +44 0345 456 456 4 or, anonymously in the United Kingdom, through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
