Devon and Cornwall Police have notified the Cornish Times that they want to thank the public for their help in tracking down a teenager who was reported earlier in the week as missing from North West England and likely to be in Cornwall due to connections in the county.

Samuel Somerville, 17, who had been reported as missing from the Merseyside area, has now been located by police.

A spokesperson for the Devon and Cornwall force said: "We would like to thank members of the public for their help."
