A two-year-old toddler slipped through a cat-flap at an
Auckland house, and eluded a frantic search by parents,
neighbours and police before being finally found unharmed a
kilometre away on a beach just before nightfall.
Ben Jurd from Timaru was on holiday his grandparents home at
the North Shore suburb of Birkenhead Point, last week.
"Probably a minute had gone by when we noticed he wasn't
there and saw the cat door had been opened. Parents Daniel
Jurd and Janine Lander told the Sunday Star-Times.
He's fast on his feet."
They don't know how he reached the beach near the Chelsea
Sugar factory but think he may have walked through a private
property after escaping through the cat-flap.
About 30 neighbours joined the family and police in the
search before he was found with only minor scratches and
bruises
