Western Cape police are still searching for a six-year-old girl from Saldanha, who disappeared without a trace on Monday.
A police helicopter has now joined a large-scale search for Joslin Smith, who was last seen in the company of her mother's boyfriend.
Joslin is a Grade 1 learner at Diazville Primary School.
Police spokesperson, Lt.Col Malcolm Poje says Joslin's mother kept her from school on Monday because she was not feeling well, and had left her in the care of her boyfriend when she went to work.
"Later in the afternoon, when the mother returned from work, her daughter was not home.
"She asked about the whereabouts of the child but could not find her.
"Her boyfriend was unable to account for her whereabouts," Poje said.
At the time of Joslin's disappearance, she was wearing a light blue t-shirt and light blue denim shorts.
Following the report by her mother, a full-scale search was initiated comprising the investigating officer attached to the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit (FCS), visible policing members, Disaster Management personnel, and a multitude of community members.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the missing Joshlin is requested to contact the investigation officer, Sgt Millstine of Vredenburg FCS at 079 879 8588 or Crime Stop at 08600 10111.
