Police Helicopter...

We've just had a police 'eye in the sky' helicopter circling round for the last 20 mins or so. It seemed to be delivering a message to the public over it's tannoys (very difficult to hear) 'this is the police..... 5 year old girl wearing green t shirt.... ' and we can't catch the rest.
Is it usual for a helicopter to do this for a missing child situation or should we assume that they are also looking for someone with the child? (presumed snatched)
I can't see anything on the local police website and the neighbours are all scratching their heads as to what to do? Anyone work/ worked in the police know in what type of scenario a helicopter might be dispatched in this way?

Thanks in advance

Helicopters are very often used for missing children/ missing elderly people from homes. I hope they find her, whatever's happened.

yes so do I, just feel a bit helpless as the message wasn't clear - is there anywhere we can check to get a full description? I'm sure everyone will keep their eyes peeled and help if they can, but we aren't quite sure what we are looking out for

My sister uses FB and there are often details of missing people there. Try that, if you have an account?

although to be honest 5 year old girl with a green T-shirt narrows it down considerably if you see a child of that description in unusual circumstances
