Two Missing Hamburg Boys Found Safe After Weekend Search

Police said the children were located in the southern part of the city and there are no signs of a criminal offence.

Overview

  • The boys, who left a playground in Hamburg-Lurup and walked toward the S‑Bahn Elbgaustraße on Friday, did not return to their group home and were reported missing.
  • Police carried out searches over the weekend and published photos and detailed descriptions to ask the public for help.
  • Authorities urged anyone with information to call the police hotline at 040/4286-56789 or to report sightings to the emergency number 110 during the search.
  • On Monday police announced the two children, aged 11 and 10 and named Mirzan Kartal and Olamide Boussari, were found well in the southern part of Hamburg and the search has been closed.
  • Publishing photos and hotline numbers is a common police step in missing-child cases to speed up locating children and to allow investigators to rule out criminal involvement quickly.
