After some tense moments, Barrie police have safely located a missing 61-year-old woman.
Carolyn Pringle was found early Thursday afternoon after she was reported missing on Wednesday night by her brother.
"When they called me up and told me she was found and she was ok I actually broke down in tears. That’s the best news I could've of heard all day long," Andy Pringle, Carolyn’s brother, says.
An OPP helicopter was used to assist officers on the ground, who were searching in the Peel, Grove and Bayfield Street areas.
Pringle was found at a home on Grove after police received a tip from someone who saw a post on social media.
"We don't have details on the circumstances that led her to that and that's just part of us speaking to all parties involved to make sure everything is ok,” says Const. Nicole Rodgers.
Her brother says she requires medication for epilepsy and was concerned for her well-being.
Barrie police are thanking the public for their assistance.
