feared to be in "moral danger'' from bad company.

Spokesman Sgt. John Dale said the two cases were unrelated. One girl, 17-year-old Tynisa Rawlins, from Wreck View Hill in Devonshire, had been missing since July 9.

"Her family and the Police juvenile services department feel she's being exposed to moral danger and is mixing with bad company.'' Tynisia is described as brown-skinned, five-foot three and "very skinny'', with shoulder length black hair and a stud in her nose. She was last seen wearing all black.

Hendrea Muhammad, 16, of Rocky Lane West, Hamilton Parish, has been missing before, said Sgt. Dale. She has now not been seen since July 10.

She is described as brown-skinned, five-foot six and 109 pounds. She was last seen wearing a white shirt, green shorts and sneakers.

Anyone with information is asked to call juvenile services on 295 0011 or 911.
