Police are desperately searching for missing 16-year-old from Bautzen!

There is currently great concern in Bautzen because 16-year-old Nico L. has been missing since July 11, 2025. The young man disappeared from Seidauer Strasse at night under mysterious circumstances. Despite intensive searches by the police, who checked numerous possible contact points in Bautzen and even Dresden, there is still no trace of him.

Nico is around 1.70 meters tall, slim, has dark, short hair and is believed to be wearing shorts, a black T-shirt, a black backpack and a blue shoulder bag at the time of his disappearance. It could be that he was wearing a cap. The police are confident that further information from the public can help bring Nico back safely.
