Two students who went missing on Monday afternoon have been located.
James Lea, 12, and Sami-Rose Souch, 11, were reported missing on Monday night, prompting authorities to initiate a “urgent” search.
They had last been spotted around 3:15 p.m. in Dorset, close to Gillingham School.
They might have traveled to Yeovil, Somerset, before continuing on to London, according to speculation.
‘Due to their young age we need to find them urgently and ensure their safety and wellbeing’, Dorset Police had warned.
But officers have now announced that the pair has been located.
‘Following searches by officers, with assistance from the Metropolitan Police, they have now been located’, a statement this afternoon said.
‘We would like to thank everyone who shared our appeal.’
