Sergeant Paul Sochon praised the kids for their quick thinking, according to the Daily Mail.

“I’m sure the last thing the group of daring Capel residents expected when they set out on Friday afternoon was to abandon their Easter egg hunt to assist us in a police search, but the initiative they demonstrated proved to be invaluable,” said Sochon.
