A critical search operation is continuing for a three-year-old boy, Noah Woods, who has been missing since yesterday afternoon. Noah became separated from a relative around 3pm on Tuesday after a visit to a playground in Merriam Close, Brantham. More than 100 individuals volunteered for the search yesterday evening, with police urging local residents to check their properties, including sheds and outbuildings.
Noah is described as white with curly ginger hair, last seen wearing a white Bluey T-shirt, shorts, and black Vans trainers. Due to his vulnerabilities, including being non-verbal, having partial hearing loss, and undergoing an autism assessment, he may not respond when called by his name. The search entered its second day as authorities and volunteers worked to locate the child.
