Police say the eighteen (18) hikers currently in the Hermitage mountain area of North Leeward are safe, and have decided to camp out for the night due to the terrain.
Police contacted us saying there are 18 hikers ans not 20 as previously reported.
Police told One News SVG the hikers are all in contact with their families. They have adequate food and are okay.
Reports are that the group went hiking today and got lost in the area. Some of the individuals are reportedly from the Richland Park area.
The hikers reportedly began their trek from the Vermont Nature Trail area and were on a hike into the interior of the island. They are currently in a valley.
Police officers and a few Forestry Officials have responded to the issue.
We are also in contact with family members and others who are in contact with the individuals.
We will bring updates as we get them.
