Chatham-Kent Police have revealed more information and a young girl who was found wandering along Bear Line Road Monday morning. 

Officials say around 7:00 a.m., a driver spotted the girl near Dale Drive. She stopped and kept the child safe while calling the police.

Through investigation, they found that the 5-year-old lived nearby and was brought home safely.
