An urgent appeal has been made to find a missing 12-year-old boy after a friend he had reportedly disappeared with was discovered safe and well.

The boy, identified only as Harvey, and another boy went missing from Buxton, High Peak in Derbyshire on Sunday.

The schoolboys were reportedly together in Glossop, close to Tameside, roughly thirty minutes' drive from Buxton, according to Derbyshire Police.

On Wednesday morning, the police force announced that the other boy had been found. The search continues for Harvey, who police still believe is in Glossop.

“He was last seen wearing black jogging bottoms, a jumper jacket, black Nike shoes and a black baseball cap,” the spokesperson added.
