🚨 Unfortunately, there are no positive updates to bring you this morning on the search for little Noah. Efforts to find the missing three-year-old in Suffolk have continued through the night.
Noah was last seen at approximately 3pm yesterday afternoon, Tuesday 15 September, when he became separated from a relative after visiting the playground in Merriam Close, Brantham. He is reported to have run off down the alleyway beside the playground towards the new-build housing estate.
Noah is described as white, with curly ginger hair. He is wearing a white Bluey T-shirt, shorts and black Vans trainers with a white stripe. He is also described as non-verbal, has partial hearing loss and is currently undergoing an assessment for autism. As a result of these vulnerabilities, he will not respond to his name.
Police have been searching for Noah since yesterday afternoon, including specially trained officers and dog units. These searches have been assisted by helicopters from the National Police Air Service and HM Coastguard, with further support on the ground provided by HM Coastguard, Suffolk Fire & Rescue Service, Suffolk Lowland Search & Rescue and a vast number of members of the public.
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.
The same is also asked of anyone driving through Brantham with a dashcam fitted in their vehicle.
