Kaieteur News- An 11-year-old girl was allegedly abducted Wednesday afternoon, during a swimming outing at Double Day Hotel, located at Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo (EBE).

Missing girl: Adriana Younge
In a statement, police said ranks in Regional Division #3 are investigating a report of an alleged abduction committed on Younge.
Investigators visited the scene at about 15:30hrs. According to the police, around 13:02hrs, Adrianna went to Double Day Hotel pool to swim with her grandmother, Carol Xavier, who stated that at around 13:10hrs, she gave Adrianna money to buy a band to swim in the pool. Shortly thereafter, Adrianna entered the pool with her siblings. Sometime after, the grandmother called to get her family out of the pool when it was discovered Adrianna was missing.
The family launched a search in the pool and hotel but without success. The matter was then reported at Tuschen Police Station. Upon arrival at the scene, the police searched further in and around the hotel, including rooms, a store room, the yard, and the roof, but they came up empty-handed. Several cameras were seen attached to the building. However, when asked to view them, the manager indicated that they were not in working order.
The Command Centre in Regional Division #3 was contacted, and footage showed that Adrianna entered a Red and Black Raum motor car bearing registration number PSS 4684, which drove off in an easterly direction heading towards Vreed-en-hoop.
Information was received about the registered owner, who, when contacted, claimed he rented the car to one Orlando (no last name provided) since last week. Checks were made for the said Orlando at an address provided by the car owner, but Orlando was not contacted.
Trace of the vehicle from Georgetown Command Centre around 20:58 hrs showed the vehicle is in Onderneeming, West Bank Demerara at ‘White Shop shortcut’. Police are in pursuit as the investigation continues.
Meanwhile, during an interview with Kaieteur News, Amecia Simon, the mother of the missing child, shared how she learned about her daughter’s disappearance. She explained that she received a phone call from the child’s grandmother, who said she was unable to find Younge. According to the grandmother, Younge had been in the pool and had reportedly come out. The grandmother then went to get some food, but when she returned to check on Younge, the child was nowhere to be found. A search was immediately launched, but Younge could not be located.
Police were then summoned to the scene.
The mother stated that police informed her that surveillance footage showed her daughter being taken away by someone in a vehicle along the public road in front of the hotel. She said that the police had launched a search to identify the owner of the vehicle. The police later confirmed that they have obtained a photograph and other details of the suspect believed to have taken the child and assured that they are following every lead to locate the individual.
“Right now my pressure high, I cried so much like i don’t have words to say,” Simon said. Up to late Wednesday night, members of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) were at the hotel conducting their investigation.ing taken in vehicle
