An 11-year-old boy who was separated from his mum outside a shop in Hayes, west London, has been found “safe and well”.
A search was launched after the boy was last seen in Crown Close at around 4.20pm on Monday, 2 September, when he walked away from his mother near to the junction with Station Road.
It is believed that he caught a H98 bus to Hounslow West Underground Station and travelled into London, possibly on the Piccadilly Line. Police believe he may have been in the Pimlico area between 2.15am and 2.50am on the morning of Tuesday, 3 September.
The boy was thought to have been in the Canada Water, Westminster and Pimlico areas, but was likely to be travelling around London using public transport.
Hillingdon Police later confirmed the boy had been found “safe and well”.
