Diepholz (dpa / lni) - A three-year-old disappeared on a kindergarten trip south of Bremen and triggered a police operation.

The boy was with his group in the local recreation area Warwer Sand, as the police announced on Tuesday.

Police, fire brigade and walkers took part in the morning search.

A sniffer dog and a team of drones were also requested to provide support.

But before the drone took off, the missing child was discovered unharmed.

The boy gave the reason for his disappearance that he lost contact with the group while looking for sticks.
