Searching will split you into teams that are able to cover various terrain.
Please avoid the Taylor Wimpey development at this stage and follow any instructions from the police if asked to avoid those areas.
How to search - You are looking for a frightened three year old. Think about slight movements in your peripheral, high and low, tiny small spaces use all your senses whilst searching.
Police are asking local residents to thoroughly check their gardens, sheds and outbuildings, or any potential areas where a child might hide away.
Anyone with private CCTV or doorbell cameras in the village are asked to review the footage from 3pm yesterday afternoon onwards for any possible sightings of Noah.
Health and safety: Work in pairs, not to put yourself at risk whilst searching. Not to go on the trainline or Decoy Pond due to specialist searching in the area.
If you see Noah, do not approach Noah or try to grab him, please call 999 immediately CAD reference 203 and use What.3 words to inform police of your location. We’re all hoping to find him, but don’t draw too much attention / crowd towards you. Repeat: call 999.
