Amsterdam police hunt for American teen who disappeared out cycling

This photo was taken shortly before Quinn disappeared

Amsterdam police are looking for a 15-year-old American tourist who disappeared while out cycling with his parents on Saturday.

The police say his parents ‘lost sight’ of Quinn Carlson at the junction of the Diemerzeedijk, Waterkering path and the Thijs Hendriksen path close to IJburg. The family was cycling from Muiderslot to the city.

The teenager was cycling on a grey Union bike with a black rack on the front. He is 1.75 metres tall and his hair is in a pony tail.

Police have issued an amber alert for the youth and urge anyone who has seen him to get in touch via 0800-6070.
