Police are searching for a seven-year-old boy who failed to return home after playing with friends on Sunday evening.

Conley Thompson, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, was last seen in Locke Park on Sunday evening where he had gone to play with friends at around 6pm.

South Yorkshire Police said they are increasingly concerned about the whereabouts of the boy, who is believed to have left the park at around 8pm.

He was due to return to Underwood Avenue in Worsbrough but never arrived home and was reported missing shortly after.

Conley is described as white with very short mousey brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a blue checked shirt, red shoes, a black coat and brown trousers.

Officers said a number of inquiries have been made in a bid to trace Conley’s location, and have urged anyone who believes they may have seen Conley to call South Yorkshire Police on 101 quoting incident number 1148 of 26 July 2015.
