An 11-year-old boy who went missing in Ebbw Vale has been found safe and well, police have confirmed.
Rory, whose disappearance prompted concern among locals and authorities, was located without harm after a search effort in the Blaenau Gwent area.
Gwent Police had put out an appeal for help finding the young boy, with residents in the Ebbw Vale community urged to keep an eye out and report any sightings. Appeals like these often spread quickly through local social media groups, with communities in the South Wales valleys known for pulling together when a child goes missing.
The news that Rory had been found safe brought relief to those who had been following the story and sharing the appeal online.
Police have not released further details about where Rory was found or the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, but confirmed there were no concerns for his welfare following his recovery.
Gwent Police thanked members of the public for their help and support during the search.
So relieved to hear this! Bet his parents are absolutely beside themselves with relief. Well done to everyone involved in the search, proper community effort that. Hope the little lad is doing alright 💙
