A British teenager is missing after disappearing during a swim off a Dutch beach with a group of her friends.<\/p>\n

A large-scale search and rescue operation was launched after the four friends – all of whom were from the UK – got into difficulties in the seaside resort of Scheveningen, The Hague, on 25 August.<\/p>\n

Three of the swimmers were rescued and taken to hospital, but one teenage girl, who is reported to be 19 years old, was not found.<\/p>\n

The Hague’s fire department said the group were near to the Zuidelijk Havenhoofd, a green lighthouse and popular tourist attraction on the southern pier.<\/p>\n

Images from the scene showed a rescue helicopter, boat and what appeared to be diggers being used in the search, which was suspended on Sunday night due to it getting too dark.<\/p>\n

On Monday morning, the search was scaled down but still included an aeroplane and jet skis, according to local media.<\/p>\n

Police in the Netherlands told Sky News on Tuesday the search and rescue operation is now a missing person’s investigation.<\/p>\n

It said it is still searching for the teenager, but “different special forces” are not involved.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the UK Foreign Office said: “We were in contact with the family of a British woman who is missing in the Netherlands and are in contact with the local authorities.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
