Chopper called in to search for missing Pacific Pines girl
Earlier: Police have been using a helicopter equipped with a loudspeaker to track down a girl reported missing from Pacific Pines on the Gold Coast.
The chopper has been seen flying around the central and northern Gold Coast on Wednesday afternoon and into the evening, calling out the 12-year-old girl’s first name.
She was last seen on Manra Way at Pacific Pines about 3pm and has not been in touch with family since that time.
Queensland Police and family members “hold concern for the girl’s welfare due to her young age and the behaviour being out of character”.
The girl is described as about 150cm tall with a thin build, olive complexion, dark brown hair, and brown eyes.
She was last seen wearing a navy blue school uniform with a red stripe down the side, carrying a dark blue backpack.
The girl, or anyone with any information about her whereabouts, should phone Policelink on 131 444.
