Gardaí issue child rescue alert after teenage boy snatched in broad daylight
The Gardaí have issued an emergency alert called a Child Rescue Alert* after a teenage boy was abducted in broad daylight in Wexford.
Fifteen-year-old Sait Canbullu was approached by two men wearing balaclavas or ski masks at about 1.10pm today at the junction of High St and Rowe St in Wexford town.
Gardaí say he was taken from the scene in a vehicle described as a black saloon car with tinted windows.
It is understood the car travelled in the direction of Wexford Quays.
Sait is described as 5ft 4inches in height, of average build, with black hair and brown eyes. When last seen he was wearing dark grey tracksuit and blue/grey Nike running shoes.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Gardaí on 999 or 112.
Gardaí have said the men should not be approached and that gardaí should instead be called immediately.
* A Child Rescue Ireland Alert (CRI Alert) is a system that enables An Garda Síochána to seek the assistance of the public where a child has been abducted and there is a reasonable belief that there is an immediate and serious risk to the health or welfare of a child. (From garda.ie)
