PM Browne: Law Enforcement Fully Engaged in Search for Abducted 9-Year-Old

Prime Minister Gaston Browne has assured the public that the case of missing nine-year-old Chantel Crump is occupying the full attention of law enforcement and the government as efforts to locate her continue.

In a statement, Browne confirmed that intelligence received led to a police search on Wednesday night. He also revealed that the missing child was last seen in a specific community purchasing a snack.

“We pray for the safe return of this young girl, Chantel Crump. Kindly note that this issue is occupying the full attention of law enforcement and our government,” Browne stated.

He added that police are continuing their search today and are expected to host a press conference to update the public.

Meanwhile, community volunteers have been conducting independent search efforts, expressing concerns over what they say is a lack of immediate police response. Search teams covered multiple areas overnight, utilizing drones and flashlights in an attempt to locate the child.

Browne has called on all citizens and residents to assist with any information that may lead to Chantel’s safe return.

Crump was reportedly last seen wearing her Five Islands Primary School uniform and was said to have entered a silver Honda driven by a female.

Anyone with relevant information is urged to contact the police or call 773-8033.
