Danish police launched a major search operation after a witness reported seeing a young girl enter a van in Glamsbjerg. The incident occurred Thursday afternoon on Funen Island, Denmark's third-largest island located between the mainland and Jutland.
Authorities received the witness report at 2:33 PM local time. Police immediately dispatched patrols, drones, and a helicopter to the area.
The girl is described as having light hair and being between six and nine years old. However, police emphasized this description might not be accurate. She could look different or be older than initially reported.
Officers urged anyone with information to contact Funen Police at 114. They specifically asked people to call even if they could disprove the incident occurred.
Police also want to hear from parents who cannot locate their children or have lost contact with them. The communications department stressed the importance of public assistance in this investigation.
No details about the van were immediately available. The vehicle description remains unknown to the public.
The massive police response reflects genuine concern for child safety in this situation. Such extensive deployments typically indicate authorities consider this a high-priority missing persons case rather than a routine investigation.
