Swedish police reunite little girl with missing teddy bear - Update

A little girl's lost teddy bear was found in Stockholm on Thursday and reunited with its owner, according to local police, following a public police plea on Facebook. A good Samaritan found the missing teddy and handed it in to Stockholm police. News that was announced soon thereafter via the local police department's Facebook page.

“The teddy bear is back!!!” wrote Södermalm police on Thursday evening. “Tyra’s beloved teddy was found by someone engaged in the search party. The bear was found on a wall near Kungsholm Church, not far from the where he disappeared, just like in many other cases,” they wrote.



When one-year-old Tyra’s teddy bear went missing on June 19th, her mother Kristin Blomkvist posted some “Missing” posters around the area. One of the missing teddy posters was noticed by a local police officer, who took a photo and uploaded it to the official Södermalm police Facebook page, together with a caption urging fans of the page to join the search.

However, when the police efforts proved fruitless after several days, officers gave Tyra a consolation gift of another teddy bear. Now, police were on hand a third time as Tyra was reunited with her beloved bear. “When we care and help out, we make a difference – that’s you, us, and everyone else,” wrote the police, adding as a final note that they wished everyone “a really lovely summer!”

Previously. Mind you, I'm not entirely sure this is the same bear as pictured on the posters.

I'm thinking that the teddy bear shown in this article is probably the bear the police gave to her. It is definitely not the same one as the one in the flyer.
