Video released by Victoria Police shows rescuers reaching the boy and coming to his aid.
“It was quite amazing,” Acting Sgt. Brad Pascoe of Police Air Wing said of the rescue in a video interview shared by police. “I just, out of the corner of my eye, just caught a little flash of something. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to make me get the guys to turn the aircraft around and go back and have further look.”
Acting Sergeant Brad Pascoe from Police Air Wing talks us through the moment he spotted missing boy Luke Shambrook.
Posted by Victoria Police on Monday, April 6, 2015
The search crews were able to spot Shambrook, with the boy appearing to look up at the police helicopter before a member of the search and rescue team could reach the 11-year-old.
“We were just absolutely over the moon,” Pascoe said. “All of us in the crew are parents ourselves, and I can only imagine what the parents of Luke had been going through. Just a great reward for everybody’s efforts.”
