Massive search in Mönchengladbach Missing six-year-old wanted to visit his granny's grave
Mönchengladbach · Because a boy in Mönchengladbach did not come home after school the police initiated a large search operation. But it finally came to a good end after many hours - and 30 kilometers away.
A six-year-old boy travelled alone by bus and train from Mönchengladbach to Düsseldorf to visit his grandmother's grave. He was discovered at a bus stop on Monday evening after his return to Mönchengladbach, the police reported. The boy was in good health.
He had not returned from school before and had thus triggered a major search operation by the police with a sniffer dog and helicopter. A tip from a witness then led the investigators to the conclusion that the boy had travelled to Düsseldorf, a good 30 kilometers away. The family had previously lived there.
