Police are asking for information: 16-year-old Thea from Schwerin missing!

The city of Schwerin is worried: 16-year-old Thea Auguste Bergmann has been missing since October 7, 2025. She was last seen at 7:00 p.m. leaving the group home in Shelfstadt. Despite intensive search measures that were initiated, Thea has so far remained missing. The police have published a detailed description of the young people in order to receive information from the public.

Thea is described as 164cm tall, slim and with blonde wavy hair. She wears glasses and was wearing a brown leather jacket with black Adidas lettering on the sleeves at the time of her disappearance. Witnesses and people who have information about her whereabouts are asked to contact the Schwerin police on 0385 5180 2224 or any other police station. This reports polizei.mvnet.de.

Intensive search operations in Schwerin

The missing persons cases are a serious matter for the police. Large-scale search operations are initiated, especially when minors are involved. This is shown by a similar case in August 2025, when two girls aged 14 and 17 went missing in Schwerin. Police helicopters and tracking dogs were used and thanks to a tip from the public, the 14-year-old was found safely. The 17-year-old turned out to be more difficult, but was also quickly found after the search efforts were focused on her. The police thanked the citizens for their valuable information, which contributed to the quick clarification. These events were from Schwerin.news documented in detail.

Dealing with missing people is regulated centrally by institutions such as the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA). The BKA has been responsible for such cases since 1951 and takes the search for missing people very seriously. Jessica L., who is herself responsible for processing missing person cases, emphasizes that a person is considered missing if they are unexplainedly absent from their whereabouts and a threat to their life or limb is assumed. Children and young people in particular who have left their circle of life immediately attract the attention of the responsible authorities and are taken into state care. In the event of acute danger, large-scale search measures, which often involve riot police and emergency services, can be initiated quickly. The Federal Criminal Police Office provides more information on this at bka.de.

In the meantime, concern remains high in Schwerin and everyone hopes that Thea will soon be found safe and sound. Police are calling on the public to be vigilant and report any information they may have.
