What began as a moment of panic turned to pure joy when PolAir swooped in to help after a three-year-old went missing at Booker Bay Beach on Friday, January 24.
Tactical Flight Officer Senior Constable Brett Alexander of the NSW Police Aviation Command said the child was reported missing from a house adjacent top the water.
“Initially we did a low search looking out the window trying to locate the child,” he said.
“We then did a PA announcement to broadcast the child’s description.
“She started waving at us in the air which got my attention and I brought the aircraft around to her location.
“A member of the public found the child hiding under a wharf.
“Shortly after we were able to confirm the missing girl had been located.
“Its a powerful reminder to stay vigilant around water — your little adventurers can disappear in the blink of an eye.”
