Provincial police in Huron County are thanking the public for their help in finding a 9-year-old Howick Township boy who went missing Wednesday afternoon.
The boy was reported missing to police in the evening. He had not been seen since around 5:30 p.m. when he was spotted walking on a road in Gorrie, just outside of Molesworth. At the time, police also advised the boy may have been operating a side-by-side.

"Due to the teamwork between police, local emergency services, and the general public in the area, [the boy] was eventually located and found safe and without injury," police said. "Police and family members would like to thank everyone for their assistance and getting [the boy] back home."
