NORWICH, Ont. (NEWS1130) – Provincial police say a two-year-old girl who was missing overnight in a rural area of southwestern Ontario has been found.

Const. Larry Plummer says Brooklyn Honderich was found safe this morning and has been taken to hospital as a precaution. He says the girl was found by a volunteer at the edge of a cornfield in a bean field, quite a distance from where she went missing.

Plummer says paramedics checked the girl over and “she seems to be in very good health.”

The girl’s parents had reported her missing Sunday night after she wandered away from a farm where the family keeps livestock in a barn near the village of Norwich, south of Woodstock.

A major search operation began immediately, involving members of several provincial police detachments along with canine units who combed through area cornfields overnight.
