A ten-year-old boy who disappeared after school on Friday has been found "safe and well".

The youngster, from Glasgow, was reported missing when he failed to return home that evening.

Police launched a search and appealed for witnesses to get in touch.

By late Saturday morning, a force spokesperson confirmed the schoolboy had been found and thanked the public for their help.

They stated: "With reference to our earlier release regarding a 10-year-old boy who was missing from his home in Cathcart, please note that he has been traced and is safe and well.

"Media are thanked for their help in sharing this appeal."
