Tourists on Tenerife asked to keep a lookout for missing Brit

Wednesday, 03 Dec, 2018 0

A search is underway on Tenerife after a British woman working at the Loro Parque theme park went missing on a night out.

Twenty-eight-year-old Amy Louise Gerard from Grimsby, Lincolnshire, was last seen outside the Molly Malone Irish bar in Puerto de la Cruz just after midnight on Thursday.

She was reported missing the following day after failing to report for her shift at the theme park, where she works as a killer whale trainer.

Her friend Laura Mumby said: "If you or anyone you know is going to Tenerife or the Canary Islands soon, please keep an eye out for Amy who has been missing since Thursday.

"We are all very concerned. This is so out of character."

Her mum, sister and sister’s fiancé Mike Dolan have flown out to Tenerife to help in the search.

Mr Dolan said: "The barman at the pub she was last seen in said she left just before 1am on Thursday but we’re still trying to piece together the events of that night.

"We’re doing everything we can including trying to see if there’s CCTV that could help and speaking to taxi drivers."

He said police are taking her disappearance seriously.
