Residents of Urlings are growing increasingly concerned after three fishermen who reportedly left the community to go fishing Wednesday night have not returned and cannot be contacted.

The missing men have been identified as Calton Pitt, the owner of the vessel, Devon Prince, also known as “Greecegun,” and Ivan Pryce, who is known as “Puskey.”

According to information shared by relatives and friends, the men departed the village sometime after 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 11, aboard the vessel Faith P, registration V2090UL, but have not been seen since. Repeated attempts to reach them by phone have been unsuccessful, prompting fears for their safety.

Family members are now appealing to the public for help in locating the fishermen or gathering any information that could assist in determining their whereabouts.

Anyone who may have seen the men, their vessel, or who may have been at sea during the time they departed is being urged to come forward.

Persons with information are asked to call 774-0820 or 728-5884 as soon as possible.

Authorities and residents across Antigua and Barbuda are hoping the men will be located safely as efforts continue to determine what may have happened.
