Three arrested on suspicion of child abduction

    A man and two teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of child abduction after two missing schoolgirls were found in the early hours of Sunday morning.

    The missing 13 year-olds were discovered by officers at an address in the Washwood Heath area at around 1am.

    The girls - who had not been seen since leaving a bus in Bordesley Green on Friday night - are safe and well but are now receiving specialist support.

    A 27 year-old man and two teenagers, aged 16 and 17, have been arrested on suspicion of child abduction and are currently in police custody.

    Superintendent Tom Chisholm, from Force CID, said: "We would like to thank everyone who shared our appeal to assist in tracing these two girls. We are now in the process of investigating the full circumstances.”
