Officers took to the air to try to find the girl who had gone missing from her home in Devon overnight. Infrared cameras found her asleep in the corner of a field.
"Missing from a farm in a rural setting at night, she was located in the pitch dark by our helicopter crew using their infra-red camera system. She was found asleep in a field, over a half a mile away from her home.
"The National Police Air Service operates from a network of 14 bases across England & Wales to support police officers on the ground and help keep our communities safe. "In this instance, a massive team effort from the police control room, the police officers on the ground and the officers in the air to get this child home safely to her terrified parents."
