A suspect has appeared in court after being found with a missing teenage girl.

The school-aged girl was reported missing after leaving her Derbyshire home on Friday and was later found by officers at a different address.

Tautvydas Balionis, aged 28, has now been charged with an offence under the Child Abduction Act.

Balionis, of Victoria Road, Netherfield, appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Monday and was remanded into custody.

He is due to appear at Nottingham Crown Court on 30 September.

The girl has since been returned safely to her family and investigations are ongoing.
