An 84-year-old woman reported missing in Plantation was found in good health, authorities confirmed. Maria Robles, who had last been sighted on the 8200 block of West Sunrise Boulevard yesterday afternoon, was the subject of an urgent community alert following her disappearance; the urgency was due in no small part to the fact that she was without her necessary medications, and thus considered at risk, as stated in a post from the Plantation Police Department's official feed.

Robles, who requires the aid of a walker for mobility, was reported missing at approximately 4 p.m., only 40 minutes after she was last seen; this certainly lit a fire under local law enforcement, prompting a swift response to locate the elderly woman before her health could deteriorate further due to lack of medication, her description was widely circulated to expedite her safe return. The search came to a close when Plantation authorities located Robles and reported that she was in good health. No details of her location or the circumstances of her discovery were provided in the report by Local 10.
Additional details offered by police included Robles' physical description as a white female standing 5-foot-2, weighing 90 pounds with brown eyes and grey hair, as described by WSVN.
The Plantation Police Department has extended gratitude toward everyone who contributed to the search and ensured a quick resolution to what could have been a much more dire situation.
