Child Rescue Alert Issued After Teen Goes Missing From Louth

Police have issued a child rescue alert for a 14-year-old girl who went missing three days ago from County Louth.

Garda issued the alert following concerns there is an "immediate and serious risk to the health or welfare" of Svetlana Murphy.

The teenager left her house on the Coast Road in Blackrock at around 4pm on Monday with 18-year-old Nojus Maculevicius.

The pair, who are travelling in a silver Hyundai Veloster car with registration number 132-D-13518, were seen in Newry, Co Down, about 7pm that evening. The vehicle is also believed to have been in Belast just after 5.30pm on Wednesday.

Svetlana is described as 5 foot 1 inch in height with a slim build, and has brown hair and brown eyes.

At the time she went missing, she was wearing navy tracksuit bottoms with a red and white stripe on the leg, a black zipped top and black runners.

Nojus Maculevicius is described as being 6 foot in height with a slim build, and has dark brown hair and is clean shaven.

He was wearing dark grey Snickers work trousers and a black Snickers top. He may also have been wearing a khaki green hoody, and either black boots or Adidas runners.

Garda are urging the public not to approach the pair and instead contact 999 or 112.
