However, no one has seen him since then and police are keen to find out the whereabouts of the young boy.

According to the description given by police, George is black, about 4ft 8ins tall, of medium build with short black hair. After over 12 hours of police searching for the boy, he was eventually found by officers in north London at 11 30 today.

Police are urging anyone that might have seen him or have any information that could help with their enquiries to come forward and call police on 101. He has now been returned to his family in north London.
