RESCUERS have resumed a search for three teenagers who went missing yesterday evening after being swept away by strong currents while bathing in the Batang Lassa River near Nangar in Daro, about 125km from Sibu.

A spokesman at the Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department Operations Centre said today the operation, involving the department, the police, Civil Defence Force and villagers, was halted at about 7.45pm yesterday due to worsening weather conditions.

The missing victims have been identified as Herodias Enggung, Aldrin Gambang Allan Kiai and Sebastian Oziel Seman Umpi, all aged 13.

He said the search and rescue for the missing teenagers was mounted soon after the department received a report from the Daro police station at 6.37pm yesterday. – Bernama, October 16, 2023.
