DUBROVNIK, CROATIA – At about quarter past midnight on Monday, 26-year-old Australian E.L.L. was reported for disturbing the peace. She was under the influence of alcohol and climbed on top of the police car. 

According to Dubrovnik-Neretva County police, the police used restraints on the young woman so they could take her to the police station. But the young woman managed to free herself, opened the car door and fled away from the police car.

As police were driving the young woman, she managed to somehow remove the handcuffs, opened the car door and after the police officer stopped the car because of the opened door, the Australian got out of the car and fled, Dubrovnik-Neretva County police said in a statement.

After that, the Australian met a group of people to whom she said that she had trouble with the police and at 00:34 hours they called the police.

It has not bees established if this incident is in any way connected with the Britt Lapthorne case.

Australia’s Channel 7 television station made a documentary reconstructing Britt’s disappearance and accused police officers from Dubrovnik, whose composite photos were shown, were accused of her death. The film was made based on the testimonies of three young women who were nearly kidnapped in Dubrovnik. The girls said that a group of young men who said they were police officers tried to kidnap them outside of the “Fuego” nightclub and take them in an unknown direction, which is how they came to the conclusion that an organised group of kidnappers were working at the club.

Also, the Australian documentary criticised the Dubrovnik police which denied in the documentary that there were ever any kidnapping attempts, even though one of the Australian girls reported her kidnap attempt to police and the other reported it to the Australian Federal Police, which informed Dubrovnik’s police about the kidnapping attempt.

The Australians claimed they showed the composite photos to a girl named Amber who allegedly recognised her attackers.

The documentary stirred up the media and the Croatian Interior Ministry denied that the police officers were in any way involved in the death of Britt Lapthorne.
