Two teenagers missing between Newcastle & Pietermaritzburg

We received a call from a Warrant Officer from Newcastle SAPS reporting that two teenagers had been driving from Newcastle to Pietermaritzburg and they had not arrived.

I opened an IMICS case, and searched on the system for the vehicle they had been driving but there were no results so I published a local alert and hotlisted the vehicle on SNIPR South Africa.

The Warrant Officer said that SAPS members were searching the highway route for the boys and their vehicle. The vehicle had not passed any cameras but thankfully the Warrant Officer later confirmed that the teenagers had been found.

It turned out that their vehicle had broken down and that they were unable to call for assistance as their phone batteries were flat.

It is really important when travelling to always make sure someone knows where you are going, as well as your expected time of arrival, as this information gives the authorities and family an idea of where to look if something happens.
