A young boy who sparked concern after going missing two days ago has been found safe and well.

Police believed 11-year-old James Moran-Jones was trying to reach his mother in Forest Gate.

He was in foster care at a house in Chafford Hundred, Essex. His foster parents last saw him on Saturday afternoon.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman added: “We are pleased to report that he has now been found and thank media for their assistance.”
