Police are searching for a three year old boy who has gone missing in Rincón de la Victoria (Málaga).
Emergency services have reported that according to informaion provided by the local police force, the younster is blonde and was wearing beige trousers and a beige sweater when he was last seen at around 17:15 hours on Monday.
The call to 112 led to the initiation of a widescale search of the town of Rincón de la Victoria, but the search has been hampered by the two different versions of the child's disappearance given to the police by the child's mother's partner.
According to local sources, the man in question is currently at the Guardia Civil headquarters and is helping police with their enquiries.
In the first instance, he told police that the child had disappeared at a shopping centre in town, but security camera footage has confirmed that he wasn't there.
The man later claimed he had lost the child on the beach, in the Cala del Moral area.
Loca sources have confirmed that a search of the entire Cala del Moral area has been undertaken, from the beachfront promenade up as far as the tunnels, where there are a number of various cliffs. Attention has been drawn to the fact that the sea is "very rough with big waves".
At the current time, all lines of enquiry are "open" in view of the contradicting information about the child's disappearance provided by his mother's partner.
