Two Arrested Over Missing Lancashire Schoolgirl
Two people have been arrested in connection with the disappearance of 15-year-old schoolgirl Paige Chivers from Lancashire.
Lancashire Police confirmed that a 53-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman, both from Blackpool, have been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Paige disappeared from her home in Bispham following a family argument on August 23 last year. Her family last saw her getting on a Number 11 bus on Ashfield Road on the same day.
Detective Superintendent Kevin Toole from Lancashire Police said: "Whilst we have made two arrests today this doesn't mean that the investigation stops. We need to continue to piece together exactly what happened when Paige left her family home in August and any information may help us to locate her.
"The enquiry is ongoing and from day one we have, and will continue, to keep an open mind about what has happened to Paige; I will rule nothing in or nothing out. We will continue to look for evidence that will tell us what has happened to Paige. We have been in constant contact with Paige's family throughout and have kept them informed of the investigation and today's arrests.
"I would also appeal again to the Blackpool public for help, if they have seen her then let us know. The smallest pieces of information could prove to be important."
Paige is described as white, 5ft 5ins tall with a "Playgirl" tattoo on the back of her neck. She is also said to usually wear gold hoop earrings and two small sovereign rings.
A £2,000 reward has been offered for information leading to her safe return.
