The suspect is said to be the girl’s father, but the police cannot confirm this when asked. On Thursday it was already taken into account that her father might be involved. In 2019, an amber alert went out for the girl after she was kidnapped by her father.
An observant citizen saw the girl walking with a man. This information, in combination with the information from the police investigation, has led to the arrest of a 35-year-old man from Lelystad, the police said. The man has been arrested for removing the girl from parental authority. He’s still stuck. The police thank everyone for looking out for the girl.
