Lancashire Police are treating Gracie-May as a missing child and both Kelly Gibson and Lee Rogers are now wanted on suspicion of child abduction.

Detective Inspector Andy Ellis, of Lancaster CID, said: “We are growing increasingly concerned, especially for the welfare of Gracie-May and Kelly Gibson, and we would appeal to anyone who sees the three of them together or separately to get in touch urgently.

“The last information we have is that the family landed in Alicante on Tuesday evening but as there have been no confirmed sightings since then it is possible that they have moved on.

“We appreciate that this incident may cause concern for some people but we are working closely with our partners in the Spanish Police and our overriding priority is the safe return of this young child.”

Lancashire Police are working closely with law enforcement and child protection partners in Spain in a bid to bring Gracie-May home safely and are appealing to anyone who sees the family or who has information on where they may be to get in touch as a matter of urgency.
