The daughter of a female stall owner has evidently gone missing, she said. Someone alerted the police of the incident immediately.

A police dog from the K-9 unit was also present.

Investigating officers were seen carrying a plastic bag containing a children’s backpack, as they relied upon their well-trained canine to track the girl’s scent.

Girl found at nearby HDB block

As one of them was heard uttering a nearby HDB block number, most of the police officers left the foodcourt once they had gotten information on the girl’s whereabouts.

According to Ms Wang, the distressed stall owner was left accompanied by a female officer waiting for her daughter’s return.

Speaking to Lianhe Zaobao, the police later confirmed that the girl has safely returned to her loved ones.

Reminder to keep our loved ones safe

Having their child missing is any parent’s worst nightmare.

We are glad the little girl eventually returned to her family. This incident also serves as a reminder to always keep a lookout for our little ones, so they can roam around freely but safely.
