Police have confirmed that a boy who went missing from Carlisle has been found.

Officers issued an appeal yesterday, after 14-year-old Ben Hull left his Raffles home at about 5.30pm on Wednesday and failed to return.

The appeal was shared by dozens of people on social media.

Cumbria police could not provide any further details - including when and where he was found - except to confirm he is no longer missing.

A spokeswoman confirmed that a second missing person - 47-year-old James Reid, of Briar Lea Court, Longtown - has also now been found.
