Five-year-old
boy found safe and well after helicopter search
 A
five year-old boy who went missing at Berrow sparked a major Coastguard
and police search on Thursday afternoon (August 3rd).
The
family of the young lad, who was on holiday in the seaside resort,
reported him missing at lunchtime.
Police
officers immediately launched a search of the beach and sand dunes
and a force helicopter (pictured) was brought in from Portishead
to conduct a search from the air.
Coastguards
from Burnham-On-Sea were also called to the scene amid some concern
that the boy could have been in the water.
But
police officers found the boy at around 2pm. "He was found
unhurt and safe - much to the relief of his family," a police
spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com on Friday (August 4th).
