She was last seen wearing a white shirt, chequered skirt, black boots, and white socks. According to a police statement, she was picked up from Carmel Secondary by an unknown female, alleged to be her mother. Mohamed’s whereabouts remain unknown. Notably, the matter was reported to the police at 16:00 hrs the same day.
In another case, police reported that two siblings, five-year-old Havana Dodson and two-year-old Jevari Dodson, were taken from the Tucville, Georgetown home of their grandmother, Shereen Sampson, on 3 July 2025 at around 20:00 hrs. The children, who were also under the custody of the CPA, were reportedly taken by their father, Javon Sampson, and have not been seen since. The incident was reported to the police on 9 July 2025.
