Missing child - Police search for missing 13-year-old with a large contingent
The police are currently searching for a missing 13-year-old in Mechernich, North Rhine-Westphalia, in the Euskirchen district. According to police statements, a helicopter and dogs are involved in the search. The schoolgirl has been missing since Monday. It is possible that she is in a helpless situation, said a spokesperson. The child speaks only broken German and is not familiar with the surroundings. She has no phone with her.
According to the police, the 13-year-old told her parents on Monday morning that she was going to school - but the school was closed due to report conferences. Witnesses saw her get on a bus at the Mechernich bus station and walk towards school on foot. She has not returned home since then.
At the time of her disappearance, the girl was wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers. She had a bandage on her left hand. Witnesses are asked to contact the police.
The search for the missing child is taking place in the Northern German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, specifically in the Euskirchen district. The police have deployed a large contingent, including a helicopter and dogs, to aid in the search. The girl was last seen in Mechernich. The absence of a phone and limited German language skills add to the urgency of the situation. The emergency services are doing everything they can to ensure the safe return of the child.
