A total of 17 people connected to the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games have been reported missing since the event got underway, police have confirmed.
The Games, which have been widely viewed as a resounding success, got underway on July 28. But the enthralling fortnight has been tainted by 13 athletes, and four others who were part of the individual teams, being reported to authorities as missing people.
Earlier this week, it was reported that 10 members of the Sir Lankan party were missing, amid economic turmoil in their home country. But a police statement has since revealed that nine of the 17 people have since been accounted for.
