On Monday, a flower shop owner located in Chertsey stated that youngsters who match the details of the absent individuals arrived at their shop at 3:50 pm. This incident was recorded by the surveillance camera.

According to Samantha Williams, who works at House of Flowers, the eldest child in the group, a girl, requested for guidance on how to reach a nearby train station just before they left the shop.

According to BBC News, she mentioned that they were in a hurry. The children were casually strolling around the store, showing no signs of anxiety.

"She was observing them. I suspected they were unfamiliar with the location."

Law enforcement officials have yet to verify whether the visual identification was of the absent minors.

According to the Surrey County Council, the kids are not residing within the area of Surrey and the council is not familiar with them.

According to a representative from Thorpe Park, they are still backing up the police during their inquiry.
