A hunt for a missing 11-year-old boy from Truro has ended with happy results.

Louis Crowe, who was missing after climbing out of his bedroom window at around 10pm last night, has been found safe and well according to police.

Writing on their Facebook page, Truro, Perranporth and Tregony Police thanked the public for their help in finding Louis, saying: "As always excellent response from you guys and thank you for your assistance." 

An urgent police appeal was issued earlier today after Louis went missing from the Cornish Crescent area of the city. He was reported to police at around 8am this morning. 

At the time there were fears for Louis' health and safety, following the wet and cold weather last night.
