A two-year-old girl who was allegedly abducted to Spain has been safely returned to the UK.

Lancashire Police traced missing Gracie-May Rogers at Manchester Airport “in the company of a woman” on Sunday.

The little girl has been taken to a place of safety.

Police made an urgent appeal to find the missing toddler on Friday.

The police added: “A 35-year-old woman who we wanted to speak to in connection with Gracie-May’s disappearance were 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.

“We would like to thank everybody who shared our appeal and played a key role in helping with our investigation to find Gracie-May. Your support, as ever, is massively appreciated.”
