London (CNN) -- Local residents in Wales joined police Tuesday to search for a five-year-old girl who officers believe was abducted while she played near her home.
Hundreds of people spent the night scouring land around the mid-Wales town of Machynlleth for April Jones, who was last seen getting into a van on Monday evening.
Melanie Biffin, from Machynlleth Council, told CNN that Mayor Gareth Jones and Councillor Mike Williams as well as many other locals "had been up all night on the search."
Dyfed-Powys Police said they are "increasingly concerned" for the girl's safety. Detective Chief Superintendent Simon Powell said police were following several lines of inquiry.
Powell told the Press Association: "April was last seen playing on a bicycle near her home address at around 7.30 p.m. and was seen getting into what we believe was a light-colored van which then drove off.
"We are obviously becoming increasing concerned for her safety and are asking for anyone with information to please contact us."
