Missing Boy's Recovery Sparks Arrests
A Co Tyrone youth reported missing from his home since November has been found, safe and well. The news was revealed this morning by PSNI Inspector Stephen Moneypenny.
Speaking on BBC Radio Ulster he said that three people had been arrested in connection with the boy's disappearance, which was originally made public in a pre-Christmas media appeal seeking the public's assistance to find help find the boy.
He explained that the police in Dungannon had since made a renewed appeal for information about the 14-year-old-boy - who comes from the Dungannon area - just over 10 days ago as he had then been missing for more than a month.
He explained Tyrone McFall went missing from the home of a relative on November 29th.
The Inspector said they had been very concerned about the boy over Christmas especially as he would normally have been expected to be safe at home then.
More recently, in early January, he had reported that the police believed Tyrone might be with people he knows in the Dundalk or Banbridge areas, although there have been no confirmed sightings of him in either towns.
The police and the Southern Health and Social Care Trust in Dungannon were both keen to know that he was safe and said police and other agencies had put in a huge effort to find him.
However, he explained that the boy had now been found safe and physically well and that three people had been held in connection with the case.
Police had searched five addresses in the Dungannon area with the child recovered from one of them.
He said a file was being prepared for the prosecution service in connection with the boy's initial disappearance.
