A British father is being hunted by police after allegedly abducting his twin daughters from their home in France.

John Patterson, 46, is believed to have taken his three-year-old daughters, Ava and Mia, following a custody battle with his wife Aleksandra Pietrasiewicz.

Following their disappearance on March 31, he reportedly deleted his social media accounts and abandoned his mobile phone.

Aleksandra, 32, from Metz, told The Sun on Sunday that despite efforts by police in France they have not been able to locate him.


She said: ‘I just want to know first if they are OK because they have got health issues.

‘I’m panicking because Ava had to have an MRI scan because she had a brain haemorrhage at birth.



‘I just want to know that they are safe. They need their mum and dad regardless of what is going on between us.’

Ava and Maria’s grandfather, Adam Pietrasiewicz has created a social media page to help find the girls and wrote: ‘My granddaughters Mia and Ava were abducted by their father in Metz (France) and we haven’t heard from them since then.

‘Please help us find them.

‘We have no idea about their current whereabouts. They could be anywhere.’

Police believe he may have crossed the border into Luxembourg and could have taken the girls through countries in the Schengen Area.

The couple used to live Warwick and Aleksandra fell pregnant with the twins two years after they met in 2013.

But for the last seven months they have been separated and she obtained sole custody of the girls in December, reports 5minutes.lu.
