A search is under way for a seven-year-old boy from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, who has not been seen since Sunday night.

Conley Thompson was last seen at Locke Park, where he had gone to play with his friends, at around 8pm.

Police believe he left the park at that time and was supposed to return to his home in Underwood Avenue in Worsbrough, but never turned up.

He was reported missing a short time later, and officers said they were growing increasingly concerned over his whereabouts.

Conley is white and has short mousey brown hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a blue checked shirt, red shoes, a black coat and brown trousers on the day he disappeared.

“A number of inquiries have already been made in a bid to trace Conley’s location and officers would urge anyone who believes they may have seen him to please call 101 quoting incident number 1148 of 26 July 2015,” South Yorkshire police said in a statement.
