Where are these missing Burundi teens? Police say they crossed into Canada


Two Burundi teenagers are believed to have crossed the border into Canada after disappearing from an international robotics competition in Washington, D.C., U.S. authorities said on Thursday.

Canadian authorities, however, refused to say whether the teens were safe or still considered missing.

All six students from the Burundi team visiting Washington for the “Olympics-style” event went missing sometime around 5 p.m. Tuesday. After the closing ceremonies, the team’s chaperone returned alone to their dormitory, thinking his team had taken a separate shuttle bus back from the event. But the six teammates — all between 16 and 18 years old — were gone.

It appeared, event organizers said, they had deliberately disappeared. All six of their dorm keys were tucked into the chaperone’s bag, and their clothes were missing from their rooms. The president of the competition, First Global Challenge, reported them missing around midnight. Police asked that the report be filed by the chaperone instead. The chaperone complied, First Global said in a statement.
