Two Romanian men who had been accused of attempting to abduct two teenage girls in Ballymena have had the charges they faced withdrawn.
The development regarding Florin Boros (45) and Liviu Caprean (39), with addresses previously listed in Ballymena, came at the town's Magistrates Court.
A prosecutor said there was to be no prosecution and he was withdrawing the charges against both men.
The Court then ordered the charges to be withdrawn.
No further details were given to the court.
When the men were first charged the case had been widely reported on in the media.
They had each faced two charges of attempted child abduction relating to May 19 this year.
