Gardaí have this morning reported that two young brothers who went missing from their home near Belfast earlier this month have been “located safe and well”

Patrick Horvath (5) and his brother Fabricio Horvath (8) were found in the Thurles area of Co. Tipperary yesterday afternoon, May 25.

They have both since been returned safely to Northern Ireland.

Three persons, two women (50s, 30s) and one man (40s) were arrested under Section 17 Non-fatal Offences Against the Persons Act, 1997 and are currently detained at Templemore and Nenagh Garda Stations under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.

“An Garda Síochána is not providing any further information,” said a spokesperson, who thanked the public and media for their assistance.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) had issued an alert after becoming increasingly concerned about the welfare of the two children who were last seen on Friday evening, May 14.
