Urgent search for missing toddler Milena Malkic

Police have issued an AMBER alert in the desperate search for missing toddler Milena Malkic.

It’s believe Milena may be with her parents Nadia Malkic and Joshua Coates, but she hasn’t been seen since she was spotted in the Springvale area on June 15.

Police say it’s likely the trio are in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Altona, Warrnambool, Stawell or the Gippsland areas.

Image of Milena, Nadia and Joshua have been released in the hope someone recognises them.

They have also released an image of a vehicle similar to the one the family may be driving, a blue 2002 Ford Falcon with registration 1HZ 4SU.

The AMBER Alert child abduction system was launched nationally yesterday to help ensure the safe and immediate return of children.

Anyone who sights Milena, Nadia or Joshua or who knows of their whereabouts is urged to contact Triple Zero (000) immediately.
