Two-year-old girl abducted from Lancaster to Alicante

AN urgent appeal by police has been launched after a toddler was abducted from Lancaster and taken abroad.

An urgent appeal by police has been launched after a toddler was abducted from Lancaster and taken abroad. The toddler, two-year-old Gracie-May Rogers has not been seen since Tuesday, August 24.

She was last seen with her mother, Kelly Gibson, at around 10am.

They allegedly boarded a plane from Glasgow airport at 5.30pm on August 25 with Gracie’s father Lee Rogers. It is believed they arrived in Alicante, Spain, at 9.35pm.

Police have said that there have been no confirmed sightings of them in Spain.

Kelly Gibson, 35, and Lee Rogers, 39, are now wanted on suspicion of child abduction, as Lancashire Constabulary is now treating Gracie-May as a missing child.

Law enforcement officers and child protection partners in Spain are working closely with the Lancashire Constabulary to try and bring Gracie-May home safely, according to Lancaster Live.

Detective Inspector Andy Ellis, of Lancaster CID, said: “We are growing increasingly concerned, especially for the welfare of Gracie-May and Kelly Gibson, and we would appeal to anyone who sees the three of them together or separately to get in touch urgently.

“The last information we have is that the family landed in Alicante on Tuesday evening but as there have been no confirmed sightings since then it is possible that they have moved on.

“We appreciate that this incident may cause concern for some people but we are working closely with our partners in the Spanish Police and our overriding priority is the safe return of this young child.”

Anyone with information should contact Lancashire Police on 101 quoting log 0621 of August 25.

For sightings please contact the local police in the relevant area.
