A coordinated response by multiple law enforcement agencies led to the safe recovery of a missing 7-year-old autistic child in Stony Point on Saturday evening, July 26.
At approximately 7:30 PM, Stony Point Police received a report of the missing child and immediately launched a search operation. Officers were joined by the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office, which deployed a drone for aerial surveillance.

Roughly 30 minutes after the child was reported missing, he was located safe within a half-mile of his home and reunited with his family.
