Fruitvale resident assist police in locating missing child

File # 2025-2242

On Thursday, June 5, 2025, at 1:26 p.m. frontline Trail and Greater District RCMP and BC Highway Patrol officers responded to a report of a missing 6-year-old Fruitvale girl who wandered away from her residence on Webster Road, in Fruitvale, BC.

The girl’s mother immediately noticed her daughter’s sudden disappearance from their rural property. The mother told police that she believed that her daughter had walked away and onto one of the surrounding properties. Several officers searched the area in an effort to locate the missing child.

Fortunately with a hour of the disappearance, a neighbour was alerted to the girl’s presence on his property via his security camera motion detector. Officers were informed about the girl’s location and attended this property. The officers located the girl happily playing with toys that she had found in the yard. Officers noted that the girl appeared to be in good spirits and was unharmed.

She was returned home to her very relieved parents.

Trail RCMP would like to thank everyone who assisted in locating the girl. The ride home in the police vehicle appeared to be fun for the girl as she quickly figured out how to turn on the emergency lights and siren, says Sgt. Wicentowich
