Chatham-Kent Police have released more information after an 18-year-old girl reported missing in Chatham earlier this week was found.
Authorizes first issued a plea to the public to help keep an eye out for the young woman on Monday afternoon, saying she hadn’t been seen since the noon-hour that day.
With the help of front-line officers, tips from the public, cell phone pinging, a drone, grid search, and the CKPS K9 unit, the girl was found around 7pm last night.
Authorities say she received medical attention for hypothermia but was otherwise in good health.
“Through the collaborative efforts of front-line officers, the Critical Incident Response Team, the Criminal Investigation Branch, community partner agencies, and the public, the woman was found safe,” a statement from police reads. “The Chatham-Kent Police Service would like to thank everyone who participated in this search. It was a community effort with a positive outcome.”
