Citrus Heights police said a search for a missing “at-risk” girl ended successfully Thursday, after a search team formed and the 10-year-old was located.
“We are relieved to announce [the missing person] has been located and is currently being reunited with her family,” said CHPD’s Public Information Officer Chad Morris in an email update to media just after 3 p.m., Thursday.
Police said officers responded to a report of the missing girl, who reportedly had last been seen at her Citrus Heights residence around 11:30 a.m. A detailed description and photograph of the minor was then sent out by police in a press release around 2:50 p.m., urging anyone with information regarding her whereabouts to call the Department.
Just 20 minutes after sending the release out, police said the missing girl had been located, and thanked those involved in the search effort for their willingness to help.
