Man, 30, arrested as Gabriela Kosilko, 26, vanishes after going food shopping - as cops launch water searches

A MAN has been arrested as police search desperately for a young woman after she vanished last week.

Gabriela Kosilko, 26, was reported missing in Leicester on Friday after failing to come home from work the previous evening.

Police confirmed the arrest of a 30-year-old man "in connection with" the investigation, though they did not specify the charge he was detained on suspicion of.

Gabriela was last seen in a shop near her workplace at 11.30pm on Thursday evening.

Her red Audi A1 was then found on a different road four miles away at 4.20am the next day.

Officers are now conducting water searches at a nearby lake.

An area behind a local Tesco shop was previously cordoned off but has now been reopened.

Detective Inspector Laura Sanderson of Leicestershire Police said: "As time goes by we are growing increasingly concerned for Gabriela’s welfare. Since she was last seen in Fosse Road North there have been no further sightings of her.

"However, we believe that the location of where her vehicle was seen and located may hold the key to helping us find Gabriela.

"While the arrest is significant for our investigation this remains a missing person’s enquiry and we are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen Gabriela since Thursday evening."
