State police located a missing elderly woman in Burlington Thursday evening using infrared equipment from one of their helicopters.

“Air 5 began searching the area and quickly located a vehicle stopped in the breakdown lane of Route 3 southbound in Burlington. Using the helicopter’s FLIR (Forward Looking InfraRed) and color cameras, the crew — Sgt. Kristopher Malm and Troopers Kenneth Dinjian and Brendan Crowther — confirmed the vehicle was a red Toyota and directed patrols the State Police-Concord Barracks and Burlington Fire and EMS to the location.”

Another state police trooper confirmed the missing woman was stopped in the vehicle. The woman was transported to a nearby hospital.
