A police spokesman told the ANP news agency that it was to be expected "that it could be Jeffrey and Emma".

According to the police, the siblings disappeared at around 3.30 p.m. on Saturday in the Beerta area in the province of Groningen near the German border.

The Dutch police had recently assumed that the two had been abducted by their own father.

On May 20, the police in East Frisia were also involved in the search. The officers asked for the public's help due to the acute danger to life.
