Callum and Jake Robinson: Desperate search underway for Aussie brothers who went missing on Mexican surfing trip
Two Australian brothers have vanished while on a surfing trip to Mexico, sparking a search.
Jake and Callum Robinson are believed to have gone missing in the Baja California region near Ensenada on Mexico’s north-west coast.
After sharing regular social media posts about the first two days of their trip, they have made no contact for four days.
According to Mexican local media reports, a Special Operations Group has been dispatched to join police in their search.
Jake Robinson, a doctor, was visiting his brother who is a lacrosse player based in San Diego in the United Sates and the keen surfers had made the short trip across the Mexican border with another friend.
The brothers’ family are understood to be trying to arrange travel to the region to join the search.

Local news outlet En Contraste reported authorities tracked the phone of one of the brothers.
A woman was found in possession of the phone and methamphetamine in the Maeadero area, south of Ensenada, and was placed in custody.
The pair’s mother, Debra Robinson, has issued a plea for help on social media.
‘Reaching out to anyone who has seen my two sons,’ she wrote.
‘They have not contacted us since Saturday 27th April. They are travelling with another friend, an American citizen.
‘They were due to book into an Airbnb in Rosarito after their camping weekend, but they did not show up.
‘Callum is type one diabetic, so there is also a medical concern.’
The third man in their group, Jack Carter Rhoad, is also missing.
Friends said they were driving a white Chevrolet with California number plate 70189W1.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) have confirmed they are assisting the family.
Western Australia Premier Roger Cook said it was ‘very worrying for the family ‘.
‘When we do send our young men and women overseas to enjoy that adventure holiday they invite an element of risk and this is really quite distressing,’ he said.
