A significant search is ongoing in the Stormlea area for missing 4-year-old girl, Shayla Phillips, with additional resources from interstate arriving in Tasmania last night.

“Understandably as we enter another day searching for Shayla, we are concerned for her welfare,” said Inspector Gavin Hallett.

“Significant resources are continuing to search the Stormlea Road area, with Tasmania Police, including Search and Rescue, divers, drone operators, and investigators; the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, members of Tasmania SES, and Ambulance Tasmania, assisted by resources from interstate.”

Shayla has long brown curly hair and was last seen around 2.30pm Wednesday wearing pink leggings, a cream top, and gumboots. When she went missing she was accompanied by a dog, which has since been located.

Anyone with information that would assist the police search is asked to call police on 131 444.
