An 11-year-old French exchange student who failed to return to his host family on Tuesday night has been found safe and well.
Robin Godet-Archen was found in Devonshire Park, Plymouth, on Wednesday morning.
He had last been seen at the Guildhall area in the centre of Plymouth at around 5:10pm on Tuesday, and police had grown "increasingly concerned" for his safety.
The French boy, who has been in Plymouth since Sunday and has limited English, was expected to catch a bus in Royal Parade and return to his host family in the Stoke area of Plymouth, but he never arrived.
Devon and Cornwall police had sent out an appeal for information about Robin, who is about 5ft tall, of slim build, with blond hair. He was last seen wearing a red and blue jacket with a “square” design, a black and white snood, light blue jeans and blue ankle high trainers, and was carrying a denim backpack. Police have thanked the public for htier assistance with the appeal.
