Police arrest 37-year-old man in Bradford over disappearance of 13-year-old girl who was last seen in Sheffield last week

A 37-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of child abduction following the disappearance of a 13-year-old girl from Sheffield.

The man, who was arrested in Bradford, West Yorkshire, is currently in police custody and is on his way to Sheffield to be interviewed by officers from the South Yorkshire force.

Police said they received numerous calls after an appeal on Sunday about the disappearance of Erika Kacicova and they were working hard to piece together all the information in a attempt to find her.

Erika, who lives in Poole Road in Darnall, Sheffield, went missing at around 4pm last Monday.

The development came after police reiterated appeals to find the girl, saying the disappearance was out of character and that they were increasingly worried for her welfare. South Yorkshire police also issued a new picture of Erika.

Detective Inspector Helen Tate said police had been told about various sightings of Erika during Sunday, but none had been confirmed.

She said: "It is out of character for Erika to be away from home for so long. We are getting increasingly concerned for her welfare as time goes on. Erika is only 13, she is young and a normal teenager, who listens to music and spends time with her family and friends. We want her to return safe and well."

Around 50 police staff were working on the case, Tate said, and the force had received dozens of calls.

"Erika has two younger siblings, a brother and a sister. They, along with her parents, are distraught at her disappearance," she said. "Erika, if you are reading this, please let us know you are OK. You're not in any trouble; we just need to know you are safe and well."

Police were focusing on Bradford in their search for the girl, and believe she could be staying with friends there.

Erika, who speaks English with an eastern European accent, as well as Slovenian, is about 1.5m (4ft 11in) tall, of slim build, with long, straight, dark brown hair and brown eyes. When she disappeared she was wearing jeans, a denim short-sleeved top and a pink Adidas-branded hooded top.

Anyone with information about her is asked to call police on 101. Reported by guardian.co.uk 10 hours ago.
