HB Police Locate Father Of Missing Juvenile With Special Needs
HUNTINGTON BEACH (CBSLA.com) — Huntington Beach police have located the father of a critical missing juvenile found wandering the city Monday.
Officers responded to a call of a female juvenile on Gilbert Island in the area of Admiralty Drive and Pacific Coast Highway around 1:43 p.m.
A police spokesperson said she appeared to be special needs and non-verbal.
Officers went door to door in the neighborhood, spoke with residents and contacted public bus transportation and neighboring police agencies.
Police located the girl's father later Monday evening.
