The grief of a couple from the United Kingdom over the disappearance of their 8-year-old son, who has autism spectrum condition, lasted only a few minutes thanks to the National Police, who were able to immediately identify the missing boy near the Explanada in Alicante.
The event happened last Wednesday, June 18th, about 9:40 p.m. An 8-year-old kid with autism spectrum condition went missing near Alicante’s Explanada de España, prompting a call to the National Police’s 091 unit.
A motorcycle patrol vehicle that was nearby to guarantee public safety responded quickly, and after a thorough search, the officers discovered a child who fully fit the description.
Another patrol set out to search the same area for the missing child’s relatives, utilising the sound and light equipment on their motorcycles to make themselves more apparent and easier to find.
Once discovered, the boy was handed over to his parents, who were appreciative to the cops for their prompt resolution of the difficult issue, especially given that they were a family of British visitors unfamiliar with the city and language.
The National Police reminds us that on June 11th, “Operation Summer” began with a demonstration of police equipment on the port promenade in Dénia. One of the National Police’s creative summer efforts has been the design of a children’s identity bracelet. Parents can write their child’s name and phone number on it in case they go missing.
Police officers give the bracelets on beaches, and they are also available in tourist offices and hotels.
