Lost Children Found Safe and Well

The children, under the age of 10, were last seen thumbing a lift in the Hawsker area and were not wearing any shoes.

Police were searching the area and have posted this onto social media this evening:

Great news!

Thank you to everyone who has shared our appeal and those who have called in with information.

It is very much appreciated.
