Camera pinpoints child asleep in pitch dark field after ‘every parent’s nightmare’
A six-year-old girl who went missing from her remote farmhouse home was found curled up asleep in a field after a police helicopter used an infra-red camera to pinpoint her in the pitch dark.
The National Police Air Service south-west team released footage of the moment the child was spotted by the camera in the corner of a field in north Devon. She had wandered more than half a mile from her home. She was checked over in hospital and reunited with her parents.
