Police receive missing persons report
On Monday, the Puck County Police Command received a report about seven missing Ukrainian citizens— a 27‑year‑old woman, a 44‑year‑old man and five children aged 1 to 8. The last confirmed sighting was on 15 December near ul. Rzemieślnicza in Władysławowo, Puck County, Pomeranian Voivodeship.
Search concludes
Police launched a Level II search, indicating no immediate risk to the family’s life, health, or freedom. The effort was carried out without any evidence of immediate danger.
Family located in Slovakia
Following the search, the police released a statement: “We inform that the family was located in Slovakia through cooperation with the Border Guard. They pose no danger to life or health.” The announcement thanked the community for providing images of the missing persons.
Legal context of custody
Unofficial reports from Faktu suggest that domestic violence within the family had led to parents’ restricted parental rights, resulting in the children being placed in foster care.
Possible abduction
According to journalists, a meeting scheduled for Monday may have culminated in the parental kidnapping of the family. No formal charges have been announced.
