Police conduct large-scale search after underage … (Domestic)

Kortenberg / Everberg –

A minor was able to escape from the closed youth institution De Grubbe in Everberg on Saturday morning. The police conducted a large-scale search, but for the time being they were unable to locate the youngster.

The youngster disappeared from the institution on Saturday morning at around 4.30 am. It is not yet clear how he could escape. The police immediately started a search. “We searched the area with several teams, and were also assisted by a detection dog and the police helicopter,” said police spokesman Johan Vanhumbeeck. “We stopped the search in the area around 7 am.”

The search is currently continuing. “Our research field has now shifted somewhat, to locations further from the institution with which the young person has a link,” says Vanhumbeeck. For the time being, the police do not want to release any information about the young person’s identity and why he is in the institution.
