Extremely sad news in the search for a missing Gainsborough boy
Lincolnshire Police say missing 15-year-old boy Oliwier likely entered the River Trent.A person who police believe is Oliwier was seen entering the river near the Flood Road bridge in Gainsborough on Monday evening.Superintendent Phil Baker said: “The last three days has seen a significant round-the-clock effort to find Oliwier.
“Having carefully pieced together Oliwier’s movements since he was last seen on Monday evening, we are now in the sad position to say that we believe he has entered the water. We have come to this belief after viewing CCTV footage which shows someone entering the water near the riverbank at The Flood Road bridge in Gainsborough at around 9.20pm on Monday.
"This is around the same location and time we had a last confirmed sighting of Oliwier. Because of this, we are now treating this as a recovery operation, and focusing our efforts in the water and along the water’s edge. “Today, we have deployed a boat fitted with sonar from the Environment Agency to help our search in the water along with teams from Humberside and Nottinghamshire Police, and divers will also be on scene. We are also using our drones which are more manoeuvrable"We would like to recognise the enormous support shown by the local community, which has included sharing information and local searches.
“We continue to be open to new lines of enquiry, so we ask that the public continue to send any information you have to us while we continue the search for Oliwier. Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.”
