The police in Northern Ireland are “increasingly concerned” about missing two Belfast boys as they may be in Dublin.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland have appealed for information about the whereabouts of the two young boys.
Eight-year-old Fabricio Hovarth and his five-year-old brother Patrick from north Belfast were last seen in Belfast, County Antrim on Friday evening.
The boys are described as having dark hair.
Patrick was wearing light-coloured bottoms and top with black shoes, while Fabricio was wearing grey bottoms and a purple and green top when they were last seen.
Police say they were last seen getting into the back of a black Ford car at around 6pm on Friday evening in the Limestone Road area of the Northern Irish capital.
The PSNI are becoming "increasingly concerned" about their welfare and are appealing to the public to help find them.
They suspect that the boys may be in the company of a relative in Northern Ireland or potentially in Dublin.
Inspector Phil McCullagh explained that they want to know that both boys are safe and well.
He said: "We believe they may be in the company of a relative in Northern Ireland or possibly in Ireland.
“I would appeal to that person to get in touch with police as soon as possible on 101, quoting the reference number 2275 of 14/5/21.
"If any members of the public have any information about the boys or have seen them since Friday evening, I would urge them to contact police immediately.”
Anyone calling from outside the UK should contact the PSNI on 0044 2890 650222.
