Police have found 13-year-old Erika Kacicova who went missing on August 5th in the centre of Bradford, West Yorkshire, following a high-profile investigation into her disappearance.

South Yorkshire Police have confirmed that five people – four men and one woman -- were being held in custody on suspicion of child abduction as of time of writing.

While no information was revealed about the woman, police have confirmed that two of the men were aged 37 and 41.

Another 22-year-old man was earlier released by the police; he was also arrested on suspicion of Erica’s abduction. He is now on bail.

Detective Inspector Helen Tate, of South Yorkshire Police, said: "It's fantastic news that we now have Erika safe and well, and a successful conclusion to the search for Erika.

"Our primary aim now is to concentrate on Erika's well–being and begin to piece together her movements since she left home."

The inspector also revealed that Erica had gone missing once before but not for such a long time.
