Three Men Bailed Over Erika Disappearance

Three men who were arrested on suspicion of child abduction have been released on bail.

The men, aged 37, 41 and 43, and are from Bradford, were arrested on Monday in connection with the case of missing Erika Kacicova.

Ms Kacicova, 13, went missing from her home in Sheffield for a week before she was found "safe and well" on her own in Bradford on Monday evening.

A total of six people were arrested in connection with the case. Two of these have been released from custody, while a 30-year-old woman from the Bradford area has been released on bail pending further enquiries. The other is an 18-year-old man also from the Bradford area. He has been released from custody without charge and no further action is to be taken against him after he handed himself into the police last week.

South Yorkshire Police have said they will speak to Ms Kacicova again about where she was until she was found on Monday.

Detective Inspector Helen Tate said: "There is a still a long way to go with this investigation. It is going to take some time to piece together all the information we are still gathering before we fully understand exactly what happened during the days that she was missing from home."
