A 13-year-old Strabane schoolgirl, who was feared abducted by a man in his early twenties, was last night due to be reunited with her mother in Limerick.
Bailey O'Loughlin, from the Ballycolman Estate in Strabane, was reported missing on Saturday afternoon past by her family after she was last seen at 11.40am that morning.
Cross-border
In a cross-border operation the PSNI and Gardai conducted a joint search and found Bailey at an address in Limerick on Sunday afternoon with a man in his early 20s.
The young girl is believed to have travelled across the border in a Silver Vauxhall Corsa with 21-year-old Jason Shields.
The pair were found the following day by the Gardai at an address in Limerick and the schoolgirl’s mother was due to travel to Limerick yesterday to bring her daughter home to Strabane.
Detectives who were looking for Bailey had said they were treating the case as an abduction. A PSNI spokesperson said that police enquires were continuing to establish the exact circumstances of the case, however no arrests had been made to date.
