Appeal for witnesses in Gaerwen and Bangor Tesco areas in connection with knifepoint abduction of child

Officers investigating the child abduction on Anglesey on Wednesday afternoon are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

They are particularly keen on speaking to anyone who was in the area of Cae Glas, Gaerwen between 3:45pm and 4pm on Wednesday, 4th November and also to anybody who may have been on Cyttir Lane, at the rear of Tesco in Bangor between 3:50pm and 4:10pm on the same day.

Detective Inspector Chris Bell of North Wales Police said: “Thankfully the child was recovered safe and well by our colleagues in Northamptonshire, after excellent early investigative work by my North Wales colleagues.

“This is a fast-moving investigation and we are appealing to anybody who witnessed a silver Citroen Picasso with the false number plate, YD58 UVC in both Gaerwen or Cyttir Lane to come forward.

“We are also keen on speaking to anybody who may have seen a silver Ford Galaxy with the registration DG13 WML in the Cyttir Lane area.

“Anybody who was in either area at around the same time and who may have dash cam footage, or private CCTV is also urged to get in touch.

“We can confirm that the six adults who were arrested, all remain in police custody at this time and we would like to re-iterate that that this was an isolated incident and not a stranger attack.”

Anybody who can assist with the ongoing investigation is asked to contact officers at North Wales Police quoting incident number 20000670162.
