Police in Council Bluffs located a missing juvenile this (Thursday) morning. Officials say at around 9:45-a.m., an 11-year-old male decided to leave Edison School without permission. Upon arriving in the area, several officers began searching for the child who was on foot. The 911 Center was successful in utilizing cell phone technology to locate the child, which indicated the child was in the area of Big Lake Park off N. 16th Street and was moving in a northeast direction.

Officers on foot and in vehicles concentrated their efforts in this area. Additional cell phone information had the child about a half mile north of city limits east of Monument Road. Officers converged on the area and observed the child running into a heavily wooded area on a ridge where he was located and apprehended without incident.

The child was uninjured and then transported to his residence where he lives with his grandmother. Pottawattamie County Deputies assisted Council Bluffs Police Officers in the two-hour search.
