An eight-year-old girl who was abducted in Rylands two weeks ago was found in a shack in Town 2, Khayelitsha, on Monday evening.

Police spokesperson Sgt Wesley Twigg said members of specialised units and Cape Town law enforcement officials used state-of-the-art technology to locate her.

“The intelligence-led integrated operation saw forces descend on the township where the young girl was found. She has since been sent to a doctor for a medical assessment.”

He said investigations were continuing. Detectives were questioning several people in connection with the kidnapping.
