Two arrested as search for woman turns into murder probe
Two men have been arrested by police in connection with the disappearance of Bangor woman Lisa Dorrian.
Officers conducting a search into the 25-year-old’s disappearance said the investigation had turned into a murder probe following a number of inquiries carried out by officers in recent days.
These have included the removal of a caravan from the site where Lisa disappeared after leaving a party in the village of Ballyhalbert at around 5am on Monday 28 February.
A number of premises in Ballyhalbert and elsewhere in Co Down were also searched on Wednesday as part of the investigation.
On Monday police stopped traffic one week on from her disappearance in an effort to jog anyone’s memory who may have been in the vicinity at the time.
Air and land searches have also been carried out along the Ards Peninsula while family members have continued to search for Lisa who left her handbag and personal belongings behind her at the party and has not made contact with friends or family since.
Lisa Dorrian is described as being 5ft 4ins in height, with blonde hair and was wearing a white short-sleeved top with lettering on it, cream combat trousers and a pair of white furry moon boots.
The police want anyone with information to contact detectives at Newtownards police station on 028 9065 0222 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
