The 18-year-old is due to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court tomorrow.

AN 18-YEAR-OLD MALE has been charged with child abduction and other offences by the PSNI, in relation to a child rescue alert issued by An Garda Síochána yesterday.

The Child Rescue Ireland (CRI) alert was issued in the early hours of yesterday morning in relation to a 14-year-old girl who had gone missing from her home. 

Late last night, Gardaí and the PSNI announced that she had been found “safe and well” in the Belfast area, and was to be reunited with her family later that night.

The 18-year-old is due to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court tomorrow, 24 April.

As is normal procedure, the PSNI said in a statement this evening, all charges will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service.
