Missing scouts may have fled country

Police say that 12 young people from Sierra Leone who disappeared from the World Scout Jamboree in Rinkaby, Sweden, may have fled to Denmark. In a press conference held Saturday, police officials said they were looking into whether or not a crime was committed; however, they said believe the dozen scouts left the country of their own volition after one returned to the jamboree, The Local reported. The missing African youths caused alarm at the jamboree when they could not be found Saturday, although all their belongings were still on site. "Someone has talked to them and they said they would get back home to Sierra Leone," said Jens Nygren, a Kristianstad police commander.
