[UPDATED] Three children who went missing from their home in the area of Aldrich School in Howell early Wednesday have been found and are okay following a search involving law enforcement and Chaveirim volunteers.

Howell Police led the search for the children, an 11-year-old girl, a 10-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl. In a public assistance request posted at 2:06 a.m., police said the children had left their residence on foot approximately two hours earlier.

More than 25 Chaveirim members joined the search, with drones also used in the effort, TLS has learned.

Assisting Howell Police were Jackson Police, including its K9 unit, Lakewood Police, the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Department and the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office.

One of Chaveirim’s search coordinators told TLS, “It was heartening to see how law enforcement and volunteers worked together to help the family. Every agency showed tremendous care and sensitivity throughout the search.”

TLS reported at approximately 4:00 a.m. that the children had been found and were okay.
