(KRON) -- An autistic child who went missing in Fairfield last week was located with the assistance of a drone, according to the Fairfield Police Department. Police responded Wednesday to a missing person report on the 4700 block of Business Center Drive. Officers were informed a 16-year-old autistic child was missing from the location. The nearby terrain presented a challenge, authorities said, and Fairfield PD Officer Swoyer arrived to assist with a drone equipped with a thermal imager. With the drone in flight, Swoyer successfully used the thermal imager to find the missing child within a thick brush in an open field.
