Searching in the Netherlands and Germany
Beerta is situated along the Dutch-German border, which has also led police to move their search into Germany. According to this morning’s press release, they are in close contact with German police.
Police also searched the Carel Coenraadpolder area this morning, but have announced that the search has yielded nothing. They continue to appeal to the public for any information surrounding the missing children.
