Dutch police launch urgent search for three missing teenagers

Police ask the public to speak up

Dutch police are urgently appealing to the public for information after three teenagers went missing from the North Brabant village of Sleeuwijk on Wednesday evening. 

The police say there has been no trace of the trio since they were last seen leaving the village together on foot.

Who is missing?

The group consists of a boy named Jesse and two girls, one of whom is named Zoë. 

The police appeal also described what the missing minors were last wearing. 

Jesse is around 1.60 metres tall with a slim build and brown curly hair. He was last seen wearing a dark jacket, black jeans, and light-coloured shoes. 

Zoë is shorter than Jesse, also of slight build, with short blonde curly hair, and was also dressed in dark clothing when she disappeared.

The second girl, whose name has not been released, was wearing a dark blue hoodie over a white T-shirt, a blue jacket, light blue jeans, and white trainers. 

She was also carrying a black backpack.

No trace since Wednesday

NOS reports that police have classified this as an urgente vermissing — an urgent missing persons case. 

It’s known that at least one of the three comes from Hardinxveld-Giessendam in South Holland, though their current whereabouts remain entirely unknown.

Police shared a late-night appeal on social media Thursday evening, urging anyone with information to call the non-emergency police line on 0900-8844. 

If you spot any of the three teenagers, you’re asked to call 112 immediately.

Have you seen Jesse, Zoë, or their companion? Please don’t hesitate — call 112 if you spot them, or share any tips with police via 0900-8844.
