The two girls were discovered in a white Volkswagen Polo rental car on the Spanish island of Tenerife
Two British girls were found "abandoned in a car" near the search area for missing teenager Jay Slater in Tenerife.
A 34 year old local resident stumbled upon the children, with the elder sibling, aged seven, revealing that their dad had left them while he popped into a nearby shopping centre for a haircut. Despite being able to open the door, the girls chose not to leave the vehicle, as reported by CanarianWeekly.
Subsequently, the man acknowledged his responsibility for the car but then fled the centre. Another individual, believed to be a 35 year old Polish man, arrived later claiming to be a friend of the girls' father. Following a police investigation, a 27 year old British woman was confirmed as the mother of the girls and they were returned to her.
