A teenager who went missing from his home in Gillingham four months ago has turned up safe and well.

Fourteen-year-old Simon Adams, pictured, was last seen in Medway on Wednesday, September 9, last year.

Police became increasingly concerned for his welfare when he failed to make regular contact with anyone.

But officers now say he returned to Gillingham on New Year's Day.

A spokesman for Medway Police, said: “He had been staying with family in the Bristol and Luton areas.

“Kent Police would like to thank the media and public for their help in the appeal to locate Simon.”
