Two boys who did not turn up to school this morning have been found safe and well. 

The 11-year-olds had last been seen at their home addresses in Cirencester at around 8am when they left for school but did not arrive.

Police asked for information after they have been unable to locate the pair after checking locations they are known to frequent.

But the two boys have now been found.

A Gloucestershire Police spokesperson said: "We are pleased to report the two school boys we issued a missing persons appeal for earlier today have both be found and are safe and well.

"Thank you for sharing our appeal and thank you to everyone who reported sightings of the boys to us."
