TULSA, OK -- Tulsa Police say recent cutbacks affected their search late Wednesday night for a missing 6-year-old girl who was later found safe.
"In an instance like this, bad weather approaching and all, it would have really benefit to have a helicopter, we could have probably found her a lot quicker than we did," said Tulsa Police Sergeant John Adams.
Police say Angelica Torres disappeared around 8:15 p.m. Wednesday.
Officers say she ran away from her dad and disappeared in her neighborhood for about three hours.
Officers finally found the girl after police say 'she emerged from her hiding place in some bushes' at 904 North Quincy.
She was not hurt.
The city of Tulsa's budget crisis forced the Tulsa Police Department to ground its two helicopters last fall.
