A 14-year-old girl, who was reported missing on July 7, was found in a bar in Aurora Village, Essequibo Coast, Region Two, on July 15.

The teen, who hails from a village on the Linden-Soesdyke Highway, was found by police in ‘G’ Division who acted on information they received.

The teen, before returning to her family, was questioned at the Timehri Police Station where she gave little information. It is uncertain how she reached Region Two. According to family members, she had never been to that side of the country before. Officers attached to the Welfare Department and the Child Care Protection Agency are conducting interviews to get the truth of the story.

They are trying to find out who may have lured the girl to visit the Essequibo Coast and how she reached there. The teen was last seen with a male before her disappearance. The male friend was detained and later released.

Police are continuing their investigations.
