Five minor girls from two families who went missing a couple of days ago from Navi Mumbai in Thane district were located in Delhi on Monday, a police official said.
Two sisters aged 14 and 16 and three siblings aged 5, 7 and 14, had gone missing around the same time from Lucky Complex in Taloja on Saturday morning, after which a kidnapping case was registered, the official said.
"The five girls have been traced to Delhi. They are safe with relatives there. A Navi Mumbai police team is on the way to get them back and reunite them with their parents," Taloja police station senior inspector Avinash Kaldate said.
