Man arrested on suspicion of parental child abduction
A 45-year-old man was yesterday arrested in London on suspicion of parental child abduction.
The man is believed to have taken three children from the Banbridge area, on Thursday, 29 March, to Dublin airport where he was intercepted by An Garda Siochana.
The three children were taken into protective custody before the man boarded a flight to London. The man was later arrested when he re-entered the UK jurisdiction in Heathrow airport yesterday. PSNI officers accompanied him back to Northern Ireland this morning and he is currently assisting them with their enquiries.
The operation involved E District CID and Response Police as well as mutual assistance from authorities including An Garda Siochana.
