Police have thanked the public for their overwhelming response after they appealed for help to find two missing boys who have now been found safe and well.

The families of Reo Ulett, 11, and Lovelle Taylor-Hibbert, nine, from Manchester were described as frantic with worry after the boys went missing together on Monday evening.

A spokesperson for Greater Manchester police said: “Reo Ulett and Lovelle Taylor-Hibbert have been found safe and well. We would like to thank the media for their help publicising this appeal and the public for their overwhelming response.”

A friend had overheard the boys saying they were thinking about going camping. Neither of them had camping equipment, food or money with them.
