A third grade student who wandered off from Elizabeth Barrett Elementary was safely located by Cochrane RCMP officers near the Cochrane RancheHouse, along Big Hill Creek, and returned to the school on June 2.
Officers were dispatched around 10:50 a.m. It took officers, who immediately began scouring surrounding areas, around an hour and half to locate the young boy, who had gotten stuck in the mud and lost his shoes while playing at the creek.
The child has a history of leaving school grounds without informing authorities of his whereabouts.
He was not injured.
