Police have confirmed a missing boy has been found "safe and well" after being reported missing.

Lio, age 11, was last seen at around 5.20pm on Wednesday, January 24 at his home address by his mother.

Inspector Nicky Hamblin, based at Reading police station, said: “I’m issuing this appeal for help in locating Lio as we’re growing increasingly concerned for his welfare.

“He acts older than 11 years old and has a slim but fairly muscular build for his age. 

“He is thought to be in the Whitley area of Reading, but we also have information that suggests he may have travelled to Marlow or High Wycombe.

"Naturally, given his age and the amount of time he has been missing, our concerns are growing for him.

“I would ask anybody who sees Lio to please contact us on 999, quoting reference 43240036845 or report sightings or whereabouts via our dedicated missing persons’ portal.”
