Authorities are currently conducting an urgent search for a missing 12-year-old girl in a remote Northern Territory community. There are concerns that she may have been attacked by a crocodile. The young girl was last seen yesterday afternoon, enjoying a swim at Mango Creek, which is located near the remote Aboriginal community of Nganmarriyanga, also known as Palumpa. This community is situated about 350km south-west of Darwin.
According to initial reports, the police were alerted to the child's disappearance at 5:30pm yesterday. It was believed that she had been attacked by a crocodile. In response to this alarming news, members of the Nganmarriyanga community, as well as the police, immediately went to the creek and began searching for the missing child. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, the child has not yet been found.
Today, the police have taken further action by deploying a search and rescue team to the area. They have also received assistance from officers in the nearby community of Wadeye. Senior Sergeant Erica Gibson has expressed her concern for the family and the community, stating that local officers are currently at the scene. She also expressed gratitude towards the community for their ongoing support and assistance.
As the search continues, officers are utilizing boats to search a large section of the creek. The authorities are determined to find the missing child and bring her home safely. Our thoughts are with the family and the community during this difficult time. We hope that the search efforts will be successful and the child will be reunited with her loved ones soon.
