New Jersey

International police have been notified of a couple that vanished after visiting Barbados over the weekend.

According to officials in Barbados, their Royal Police Force is seeking the assistance of the public in locating the missing pair.

Barbados Royal Police said Magdalena DeVille, 25, and her boyfriend Oscar Suarez, 32, -from Montclair- arrived in Barbados on Saturday 22nd June from the United States of America and are scheduled to leave on Saturday 29th.

Police say on Monday at about 2:34 pm they rented a Jet Ski from an operator at Holetown Beach and proceeded out to sea.

According to police at the time they were both wearing life jackets but at about 2:55 pm, after they did not return, the operator became worried and contacted other operators in the area to carry out a search, but they were not sighted.

Police say a Marine Unit and the Barbados Coast Guard conducted a search of the area extending as far as the Bridgetown Port but were unable to locate either the couple or the Jet Ski.

A check with the management of the Discovery Bay Hotel was made and it revealed that neither guest had returned to the hotel.
