The child – Summer Charters was found by a search party in a temporary structure erected at the side of the road near the Technical Division of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Community College at Arnos Vale.
She is reported to be safe, but police picked her up and transported her.
Members of the child’s family also confirmed this information provided by members of the search party.
According to members of the search party, police were reviewing some camera footage from a private citizen in the area. The footage showed that the child was walking up the road. This footage was a lead for the search in the Sion Hill/Arnos Vale/Roseau areas.
A lady who resides in the area – Ms. Sophia Grant then found her after deciding to check the shack erected at the side of the road, a discovery that created an uproar of joy for the search party.
The circumstances under which the child ended up at the temporary structure at the side of the road are unknown.
