A missing 16-year-old boy from Ivybridge has been found following a police search.

Ivybridge & Rural Police said the boy was found safe and well on Monday, July 5.

The teenager went missing from his home in the town on Sunday, July 4.

The disappearance led officers to ask parents to check in with their children.

"If you have teenage children out and about today, please make contact with them to check who they are with and what they are up to," Ivybridge officers said.
