A 14-year-old boy has gone missing from a cruise ship in Germany after being permitted to disembark the ship alone.
Aydin Brown, from the US, left the Caribbean Princess alone when it was docked in Warnemunde, the port nearest Berlin, on 4th July.
He should not have been permitted to disembark alone, as he is a child, but it’s unclear how this mistake happened.
It’s reported that he had an argument with his grandmother on the ship before deciding to leave, though it’s unclear whether this is true.
He failed to return to the ship before it had to leave port, with CCTV footage appearing to show him at the train station, accompanied by a stranger.
Family members are posting updates on social media, concerned that he may have been lured away from the ship and potentially even abducted.
Brown’s mother has flown to Germany to assist police and to hopefully be reunited with her son – reports are that Princess Cruises has arranged the flight for her.
Brown is approximately 5’8″ tall. He has brown hair and eyes, and was last seen wearing a grey zip-up sweatshirt and dark trousers. He was carrying a black backpack with AMAZON written on it.
Police in Rostock are appealing for more witnesses as they continue their search.
