A MOTHER and her two children who went missing from their home in Bedford could be in Ipswich, police believe.

Hayley Waite, 36, vanished from her home with her nine-month-old baby daughter and her eight-year-old son.

Ms Waite, who has links to Ipswich and also Colchester, is thought to be driving a blue Saab with the registration number RK51 NVN.

Police say it is completely out of character for her to vanish and say she has not contacted friends or family.

Ms Waite is white with collar-length brown hair, 5ft 2in and of stocky build.
