A DESPERATE hunt has been launched for a missing three-year-old boy who vanished from a village playground.
Noah was last seen at 3pm on Tuesday in Brantham, Suffolk, as officers urge locals to search their gardens and sheds.
The child became separated from a relative after visiting the playground in Merriam Close.
Noah is reported to have run off down the alleyway beside the playground towards the new build housing estate, police said.
The three-year-old is white with curly ginger hair and was wearing a white t-shirt with the TV character Bluey on, shorts and white trainers.
The BBC reported that more than 100 people had joined the searches on Tuesday evening.
