An Garda Síochána has released images of the car they believe a missing teenager may be travelling in.
PSNI are now involved in the Child Rescue Ireland (CRI) Alert, as it is believed that 14-year-old Svetlana Murphy, from Co Louth, travelled to Newry on Monday.
Following investigations, An Garda Síochána say they now have serious concerns that there is an immediate and serious risk to the health or welfare of Svetlana.
At approximately 4pm on Monday, Svetlana left her home on Coast Road, Blackrock, Co Louth.
She is described as 5 foot 1 inch in height with a slim build. She has brown hair and brown eyes and 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.
Svetlana is in the company of Nojus Maculevicius, 18 years old.
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.
Both Svetlana and Nojus are travelling in a silver Hyundai Veloster car, with registration number 132-D-13518.
Gardaí are satisfied the Hyundai Veloster car was in the greater Belfast area at 5.35pm yesterday evening, Wednesday 21st April 2021.
