A manhunt and child rescue alert remains in place after a teenage boy was abducted by two men in broad daylight.
Sait Canbullu, 15, was put into a black saloon car with tinted windows at 1.10pm yesterday afternoon in Wexford town.
A spokesman for An Garda Síochána said the kidnappers had covered their faces with either balaclavas or ski masks.
The abduction occurred at the junction of High Street and Rowe Street and it is believed the car the teenager was bundled into travelled in the direction of Wexford Quays.
Sait is described as 5ft 4ins, of average build with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a dark grey tracksuit and blue/grey Nike running shoes.
A Child Rescue Ireland Alert has been issued and anyone with information is asked to contact 999 or 112 or their local Garda station.
Gardaí urged members of the public not to approach the suspects if seen.
The child rescue system is used if a child is detained without lawful authority or reasonable excuse.
It is only used if there is a suspicion of abduction and a reasonable belief that there is an immediate and serious risk to the health or welfare of a child.
