A young resident of the Brook Hill neighborhood, reported missing late last night, was safely located in the early hours of Sunday following an intensive search led by Lakewood Shomrim and local police.
The case, which began as a missing person late at night, triggered immediate action from Shomrim. Given the late hour and the potential risks associated with a missing child, Shomrim mobilized a large-scale search effort, with dozens of volunteers combing the Brook Hill area and surrounding neighborhoods. The Lakewood Police Department joined the operation, providing additional resources and support to cover a wider area.
The search, which unfolded under the cover of darkness, faced challenges due to the time and limited visibility. Volunteers and officers methodically checked streets, parks, and other potential locations.
Shortly after 3 a.m., Shomrim announced the breakthrough: the missing youngster had been found safe and sound. While specific details about the circumstances of the disappearance and recovery were not disclosed to protect the family’s privacy, authorities confirmed that the individual was unharmed and reunited with loved ones.
