A 17-year-old girl and an older man who went missing together have both been critically injured after an apparent struggle in the back of a police van.
Young Jessica Roe and 45-year-old Stuart Lymer, from Uttoxeter, were traced to a train station in Perth, Scotland, yesterday afternoon after having been missing since Friday, March 2.
It is understood that the pair were being transported to a police station when a weapon, believed to be a knife, was used. Now, the two are believed to be fighting for life in hospital.
Jessica was last seen getting into a van at a Tesco supermarket, in Heath Hayes, Cannock ,with Uttoxeter's Lymer.
A police source told the Daily Record: "The two people are critically ill in hospital. They were both reported as missing people and picked up by police officers and put into the back of a van.
"There was a struggle and both have ended up hurt."
Staffordshire Police had been searching for the pair and the force yesterday confirmed, via their Twitter page: "Missing teenager Jessica Roe and Stuart Lymer have been located this afternoon in Scotland. Thank you for the support received from the community and on social media."
