A BRIT tourist has mysteriously vanished in Amsterdam after telling his mates he'd forgotten his passport and walking out of the airport before his flight home.

He left the group at 2.17pm and made a short phone call to them shortly after – but hasn't been seen or heard from since.
Dutch cops have launched a desperate hunt for Ryan, urging the public to be on the lookout for 'a large man, 6'3' tall, possibly wearing a white baseball cap and has a tattoo on his right forearm.'
The sudden disappearance has sparked fears after a series of troubling cases involving Brits going missing in the Netherlands – some ending in tragedy.
In 2023, 20-year-old Thomas Delafay from Plymouth vanished after being dropped off at a Dutch hospital following what was described as 'a psychotic breakdown and hallucinations.'
His body was later discovered in a ditch near the Dijklander hospital in Hoorn, 20 miles north of Amsterdam.

Northern Ireland riots latest: Leisure centre set on fire and police attacked on third night of unrest in Ballymena
Disorder in Northern Ireland has continued for a third day as rioters hurled petrol bombs, masonry and fireworks at police. Dozens of police officers have been injured during the sustained unrest while multiple properties and vehicles have been set on fire. The PSNI deployed riot police for a third night in Ballymena, County Antrim, as a significant crowd gathered around the Clonavon Terrace area. At least one protester was struck by a plastic baton round fired by police while officers also used a water cannon on the crowd. Demonstrators who gathered on Bridge Street near the residential area were told to disperse shortly before 9pm after a firework was thrown at officers. Officers, who warned they would fire the plastic baton rounds at violent individuals, also used dog units and drones in their response to the gathering. Riot police with shields advanced on the crowd to disperse them down Bridge Street in the town. The trouble in Ballymena broke out on Monday after an alleged sexual assault on a girl in the area.

Violence erupts for third night in UK town as rioters set leisure centre on fire
Violence erupts for third night in UK town as rioters set leisure centre on fire Homes have been evacuated and a leisure centre housing migrants has been set alight A third night of civil unrest has unfolded in Ballymena, NI (Image: Getty Images ) A third night of violence has ensued in a UK town in what has been described as "anti-immigration riots." Videos circulating online show a number of projectiles being launched at police in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, including petrol bombs and fireworks in another night of rioting which has seen violence, arrests and a number of people injured. The riots began on Monday after two teenage boys appeared in court accused of attempted rape. They had confirmed their names and ages through a Romanian interpreter and denied the charges against them. By Monday afternoon, a social media post advertising a planned protest at 7.30pm that evening had been widely circulated and despite it being planned as peaceful, violent attacks were launched on places known to house migrants. Since then there have been three nights of violence and vandalism with people reportedly afraid to leave their homes, multiple arrests and dozens of police officers injured. On Wednesday masked youths attacked Larne Leisure Centre by smashing windows and setting fires. They are believed to have targeted the building after social media posts had suggested that those moved out of Ballymena homes were being housed there. Article continues below It is understood that there was no one inside the Leisure Centre during the attack. Emergency services created blockades with vehicles and a water cannon was also used in an effort to disperse the crowds that gathered close to Clonavon Terrace. Police used water jets to disperse the crowds (Image: Getty Images ) DUP politician Gordon Lyons posted a message to Facebook on Wednesday: "A number of individuals were temporarily moved to Larne Lesiure Centre... following disturbances in Ballymena. "It has now been confirmed to us by the PSNI and Council that all these individuals are in the care of the Housing Executive and have been moved out of Larne. "Protesting is of course a legitimate right but violence is not and I would encourage everyone to remain peaceful." The Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has condemned the 'mindless attacks which has been described by senior police officers as "racist thuggery." Article continues below Some Ballymena residents have put British and Irish flags in their windows so that their homes are not targeted. Many locals have said they are too afraid to leave their homes.

9 apps you should delete from your phone immediately
Hiyah Zaidi Published June 11, 2025 11:54am Link is copied Comments Experts have recommended people get rid of certain apps from their phone after a team of researchers uncovered a series of them which imitate the names or icons of legitimate ones. Many of us keep hundreds of apps on our phones and often forget about them shortly after they download – but that can make us vulnerable (Picture: Getty) Experts tend to urge people to download apps from official apps stores, such as the Apple's App Store or Google's Play Store. However, even that is not always guaranteed to keep you safe. A list, issued by cyber security software company Cyble, revealed that these fake digital crypto wallets apps open a phishing website or an in-app WebView once they have been installed and opened (Picture: Getty) The apps then request a mnemonic phrase which can be used to empty your crypto-wallet. The company found more than 20 apps target crypto users by impersonating 'popular wallets such as SushiSwap, PancakeSwap, Hyperliquid, and Raydium' which trick users into installs by using 'compromised or repurposed developer accounts'. Right now, they warn there are nine wallets that are being mimicked, but that list could grow as there are more than 20 apps currently identified (Picture: Getty) The apps you should delete immediately are:• Pancake Swap• Suiet Wallet• Hyperliquid• Raydium• BullX Crypto• OpenOcean Exchange• Meteora Exchange• SushiSwap• Harvest Finance Blog (Picture: Getty) Digital wallets have no safety net, so any losses can't be recovered. Therefore, it is important that you do not download any apps unless you are sure they are provided by the people behind the wallet, and you have linked to the app from the actual website. If you have any of these apps, its important to delete them (Picture: Getty) In the report, the team concluded: 'This campaign highlights a well-coordinated phishing operation targeting the rapidly growing user base of cryptocurrency wallets. By distributing over 20 counterfeit Android applications through the Google Play Store, the threat actors impersonate legitimate wallets such as PancakeSwap, SushiSwap, Raydium, and others to steal users' mnemonic phrases—the essential keys to accessing their digital assets. What makes this campaign particularly dangerous is the use of seemingly legitimate applications, hosted under previously benign or compromised developer accounts, combined with a large-scale phishing infrastructure linked to over 50 domains. This not only extends the campaign's reach but also lowers the likelihood of immediate detection by traditional defenses' (Picture: Getty) Cyble recommends that people download apps only from verified developers, and to look at reviews before downloading anything. They also stress that people should be using reputable antivirus and internet security software packages on your devices such as PCs, laptops and phones. As per, they recommend using multi-factor authentication, and for even more security try using biometric data where you can (Picture: Getty)
