A 2-year-old girl who sparked a frantic search after going missing from her West Auckland home this afternoon has been found safe and well.
Willow had last been seen playing with a sibling in the garden of her home in Henderson around 2pm when she disappeared.
“She has been reunited with her family,” Inspector Jason Homan said this evening.
Homan thanked the volunteers who took part in the search.
“Police and Willow’s family would like to extend their sincere thanks to all involved in the search,” he said.
“There was a fantastic response from the community, who assisted with the search and provided support.”
Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.
Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
