Police in West Yorkshire have launched an urgent large-scale search operation for four-year-old Levi Davis, who went missing in the Huddersfield area as temperatures were set to plunge overnight.
The young boy was last seen in the rural outskirts of the town, prompting an immediate response from officers concerned about the dropping temperatures and his vulnerability.
Major Emergency Response Mobilised
A significant police presence has been deployed across the search area, with specialist teams including the force's dog unit and police helicopters joining the operation. Local residents have been alerted and asked to check their properties and surrounding areas.
A police spokesperson stated: "We are growing increasingly concerned for Levi's welfare, particularly given his age and the forecasted cold weather conditions. We're urging anyone with information, no matter how small it may seem, to contact us immediately."
Community Asked to Assist
Authorities are appealing to local residents to check sheds, outbuildings, and any areas where a small child might seek shelter. The search is focusing on countryside locations near Huddersfield where the boy was last seen.
Emergency services have emphasised that time is of the essence as night falls and temperatures drop, creating potentially dangerous conditions for a young child alone outdoors.
Anyone with information about Levi's whereabouts is urged to contact West Yorkshire Police on 999, quoting the ongoing missing person operation.
