Disappearance of Ipswich girl not seen since 1am sparks search

A nine-year-old girl with a “buzz-cut” style hair cut has been reported missing overnight in Ipswich, south-west of Brisbane.

The girl was last seen on Bangalow Cresent in Raceview about 1am on Friday.

Her friends and family have not heard from her since, Queensland police say.

“Police hold concerns for her welfare due to her young age,” police said in a statement.

“A search of the area is currently underway to locate the girl.”
