Latest information from Herts Police is that they were looking for a missing person. An Appeal may be issued later after consultation with the missing person's family.

The Helicoptor was back at about 11:30 last night. Seemed to be shining its searchlight at our house (Hertford North station area).

Yeah, right..........missing person. If it was a known missing person in the terms we understand they would not be using a police helicopter at that time of night unless it was a very young person or someone with difficulties. I belive the 'missing person' was missing to the police only. They sent the helicopter over our homes near Warehams lane a month back for "someone who had tried to steal a tyre" in West Street.............and they also sent half a dozen squad cars and the dog response unit (Woof!). Something is up.

Maybe they'd had a tip off from American Military Intelligence ( ha ha ) of WMD in the area ;-)
