Overview
- Noah was last seen at about 3pm on Tuesday, September 15, after becoming separated from a relative at the Merriam Close playground and reportedly ran down an alley toward a nearby new-build estate.
- Suffolk Police are leading a coordinated response with HM Coastguard helicopter and rescue teams from Felixstowe and Holbrook plus DK-9 Search and Rescue assisting in searches of streets, properties and open ground.
- Officers describe Noah as white with curly ginger hair wearing a white Bluey T-shirt, shorts and white trainers and have asked residents to check gardens, sheds and outbuildings and report sightings quoting CAD 203 of September 15.
- More than 100 volunteers joined door-to-door searches on Tuesday evening before Brantham Parish Council asked civilians to stand down for the night so emergency services could continue planned searches overnight.
- Search teams are focusing on nearby ponds and the River Stour as well as the new-build estate because water and outbuildings are common places a young child might shelter and authorities plan to reconvene volunteers in the morning.
