Missing 15-Year-Old Boy Found Safe And Well

A 15-year-old boy who went missing after "popping round the corner to get biscuits" has been found safe and well after a public appeal.

Benjamin Endeley from Plumstead had not been seen for a week after getting off the bus back from school near Woolwich Arsenal station on April 17.

Fears had been growing for the Woolwich Polytechnic pupil, who had no access to money or a mobile phone.
