We have launched an urgent appeal after a two-year-old girl was abducted from Lancaster and taken abroad.

Gracie-May Rogers was last seen with her mother Kelly Gibson at about 10am on Tuesday, August 24th.

It is believed they boarded a plane from Glasgow airport at 5.30pm on August 25th along with Gracie’s father Lee Rogers and arrived in Alicante, Spain at 9.35pm on the same day, although there have been no confirmed sightings of them in Spain.

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

We are working closely with our law enforcement and child protection partners in Spain in a bid to bring Gracie-May home safely and we are appealing to anyone who sees the family or who has information on where they may be to get in touch as a matter of urgency.

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 25th. For sightings please contact the local police in the relevant area.

Saw this and hopped straight on here!

surely there would be some degree of planning? You can’t just buy a ticket and hop on an plane atm, there’s forms to fill in and tests to be taken if you’re not double vaccinated (in the U.K. and from Entry requirements - Spain travel advice )

Gracie-May Rogers: Two-year-old girl abducted and taken abroad, say police as they issue appeal to find her

Is it unusual that they consider her being taken abroad by her own parents as abduction - can that be a scenario if she was in care (either foster/private adoption/guardian or indeed within social services), where there is somewhere she has been taken from, even by her parents, without good reason?

The risk from her parents can’t have been so serious if they were allowed unsupervised access?

The updated Mail report says she was taken from the care of the grandmother - no word whether maternal or paternal - so sounds like some order had been in place for whatever reason for the child to reside with her instead of mother, father or both.

On Friday we asked for your help to find missing two-year-old Gracie-May from Lancaster.

We are pleased to say that last night (August 29) officers collected Gracie-May at Manchester Airport in the company of a woman. She has now been taken to a place of safety.

A 35-year-old woman who we wanted to speak to in connection with Gracie-May’s disappearance was detained by officers without incident.

While she is not under arrest she will be voluntarily interviewed in due course.

A 39-year-old man we wanted to speak to in connection with Gracie-May’s disappearance has not returned to the UK.
