Garda alert: The three things gardai are asking people to look out for with 14-year-old girl at 'serious risk'

Gardai have issued a Child Rescue Ireland alert for a missing 14-year-old girl from Co Louth.

Svetlana Murphy, who was last seen at her home in the Blackrock area, faces a "serious and immediate risk".

The teen left her home on the Coast Road in Blackrock at around 4pm on Monday.

She is currently in the company of 18-year-old Nojus Maculevicius, and they have been spotted in Newry, Co Down and the greater Belfast area over the last number of days.

And officers are asking members of the public to look out for a number of things to help locate the teenager.

Svetlana herself was described as 5 foot 1 inch in height with a slim build. She has brown hair and brown eyes. At the time she went missing, Svetlana was wearing navy tracksuit bottoms with a red and white stripe on the leg, a black zipped top and black runners.

Meanwhile Nojus is described as being 6 foot in height with a slim build. He has dark brown hair and he 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.

And both Svetlana and Nojus are travelling in a silver Hyundai Veloster car, with registration number of 132-D-13518.

A garda spokesman added: "Gardaí are satisfied that Svetlana and Nojus travelled from Blackrock, Co. Louth to Newry, Co. Down on Monday, 19th April 2021, and were sighted in Newry at approximately 7pm.

"Gardaí are satisfied the Hyundai Veloster car was in the greater Belfast area at 5.35pm yesterday evening, Wednesday 21st April 2021.

"An Garda Síochána is not aware of Svetlana’s and Nojus’ whereabouts at this time.

"Anyone with information is asked to contact Gardaí on 999 or 112.

"Please do not approach those involved, instead immediately contact 999 / 112 or your local Garda Station providing as much information as possible.

"THE GARDA CONFIDENTIAL NUMBER SHOULD NOT BE USED AS THIS NUMBER IS NOT MANNED ON A 24 HOUR BASIS."
