On August 7, West Shore RCMP received a call from a very concerned grandmother who was reporting her 14-year-old grand daughter missing. The young girl had gone for a hike with her grandmother and mother in Gowlland Tod Park and she became separated along the trail.

Police immediately attended Gowlland Tod Park in the Highlands, to begin searching for the missing girl. Meanwhile, 18-year-old Gabe Kingston, and 17-year-old Kyle Hadley were hiking the trail when they heard the girl calling for help.

Gabe and Kyle ran toward the call for help and located the girl who was stuck on a dangerously steep part of the trail. Recognizing the urgency and danger of the situation, Gabe called 9-1-1 while Kyle was able to climb the trail and guide the young girl down the trail back to safety.

The young girl who was unharmed, was reunited her with her family. We want to recognize these young citizens, who heard a cry for help and acted quickly to get a fellow citizen to safety, said Cpl. Nancy Saggar, West Shore RCMP Media Relations Officer.

We had just taken up hiking and this was the first time Kyle and I had been on this particular trail. It was overall a pretty fortunate set of circumstances that led us there. We are happy she is safe, said Gabriel Kingston.

Kyle and Gabriel were both given a Certificate of Appreciation, issued by Superintendent Todd Preston, the Officer in Charge of West Shore RCMP.
