Missing child located safe

On today's date at 4:19 PM Middleton Police were Dispatched to the Hampshire Shore Roads development for a missing six year old autistic child.

We were joined by the Milton Police Department and three members of the New Hampshire State Police.

Upon arrival we learned that the child was missing for approximately 30 minutes before our arrival.  The child removed a GPS tracking device prior to leaving the residence.
 
Approximately 45 minutes into the search the child was located just as the K9 arrived.

The child was transported as a precautionary measure to the hospital by Middleton Ambulance with non life threatening injuries.

We wish to extend our deepest appreciation for our law enforcement partners who assisted in the search and perimeter.

A State Police hound was dispatched due to the time period the child was missing.

At the command post Middleton Police were in communication with the Commander of the NHSP SERT Team.

Had a k9 search not been successful, the team would have been activated.

The child is expected to make a full recovery.
