Runaway Rasgetheemu girl found dressed as a boy

A girl who had runn away from her home in R. Rasgetheemu has been found in neighbouring Angolhitheemu island, dressed in boy's clothing, confirmed the Atoll Office today.

The Atoll Office was informed of the missing 17 year old this morning along with reported of a missing dinghy. After successfully locating the dinghy at Angolhitheemu, the Atoll Office made inquiries about any Rasgetheemu girls staying on that island.

"The Angolhitheemu Island Office called back and reported that a girl dressed a boy had been located. So we sent a dhoni to fetch the girl and bring her back to Rasgetheemu", the island office confirmed.

Angolhitheemu lies a mere 10 minutes rowing distance from Rasgetheemu. An islander from Rsgth informed that the girl left the island last night around 11 pm and she was dressed as a boy so that she won't be recognised.

The Island Office mentioned that the police were investigating the matter now and no further info could be provided.

An informant from the island said that the girl left for Angolh to meet a girl she was romantically involved with.
