BUENA VISTA: Last night, troopers from Buena Vista Station responded to the report of a missing child in Buena Vista Twp., Atlantic County. A 4-year-old boy and his Black Labrador had wandered away from his house and were missing for more than an hour. While searching for the child, Trooper lan Emmi and the child’s mother heard him off in the distance and ran to his location nearly a half mile from his house.

We are thankful to report that due to the quick response of the troopers and his mother, the terrified child was safely located and in good health.
