The Niagara Regional Police Service confirmed on March 17, 2026, that two missing youths have been located safe. 15-year-old Jasmine and 13-year-old Isabella were found following a search that began several days earlier.
The pair was originally reported missing on March 13, 2026, and was last seen in the city of Welland before they were recovered. Police issued a public alert to help find the girls, which resulted in several tips from the community. Isabella was located first within the Niagara region, while Jasmine was later found in a city outside of the region.
Police officials thanked the public for their assistance in the investigation and credited the community for being essential in the search. The safe resolution of the case has provided relief to residents in Grimsby, where Jasmine is from, and the surrounding Niagara area.
The police have now requested that community members and media organizations remove any photos of the two youths from their websites and social media pages. This request follows the removal of the images from the official police media release.
