Police have been granted more time to question two people who were arrested in the investigation into a girl missing for more than a week.

Becky Watts was last seen at her home in the St George area of Bristol on 19 February.

Three homes in the city have been searched as part of the investigation, Avon and Somerset Police said.

Officers can hold the pair for another 36 hours. They are also appealing for details of the movements of a car.

Police are trying to trace sightings of a black Vauxhall Zafira with the registration plate HY06 HYA.

They say the "critical time" they need to trace it is between the morning of Thursday 19 February and the following Monday.

They also want to talk to previous owners of the car.

Searches are continuing at houses in Wilton Close, Southmead, at Cotton Mill Lane, Barton Hill, and at the family home in St George.

Forensic officers arrived at the Barton Hill address at about 11:00 GMT.

Aerial pictures revealed that a blue tent had been erected in the back garden of the home.

The BBC's Jon Kay said officers could be seen using ladders to access the house in Southmead and neighbours said a black estate car, which had been parked outside for about a week, was examined and then removed by police.

Timeline of Becky's disappearance

  • Friday 20 February - Becky is reported missing at 16:00 after her family says she was last seen at her home the previous morning
  • Tuesday 24 February - Her father Darren Galsworthy and grandmother Pat Watts appeal for Becky to get in touch. Meanwhile, the nearby nature reserve at Trooper's Hill is searched
  • Wednesday 25 February - Becky's home in Crown Hill, St George, is searched
  • Saturday 28 February - Two people are arrested in connection with Becky's disappearance
  • Monday 2 March - Police are granted more time to question the arrested pair

Officers have also searched a car parked outside the house, the lake in St George Park and Troopers Hill nature reserve.

Avon and Somerset Police said it was now running six search teams, including officers from Wiltshire, Devon and Cornwall and Gloucestershire forces.

A dog unit from South Wales Police will also be helping with the search.

In a statement, Becky's father Darren, and stepmother Angie-Mae Galsworthy, said they "continue to hope" she will be found safe but they were preparing themselves for the worst.

About 150 members of the public joined an organised search of Oldbury Court estate on Saturday in the hope of finding evidence.

But further public searches have been postponed, according to the Find Rebecca Watts Facebook group.

The message said members were "trying to work alongside of the police and help them with the investigation".

"Police have urged us to flood everywhere, especially shopping centres, with posters," it read.
