Three brothers missing from care homes have been found safe, according to police officers.

Ealing Metropolitan Police said siblings Janni, Marley and Rico Mayger, who have links to the capital, have been "located safe and well."

An official from the force said on Tuesday December 27: "Missing boys Rico, Janni and Marlee Mayger have been located safe and well - all thanks to an eagle eyed member of public."

Hounslow Police were asking for the public’s help in tracing the siblings, who went missing on two different dates from care homes at the end of November and in December.

Although they were spotted in west London, police were unable to track the three brothers, until a member of public recalled the appeal and called up after they were seen.
