A mother and baby who went missing yesterday morning have been found safe and well.

Samantha Thomas, 24, from Sheerness, had been last seen with her 10-month-old son at 10.30am on Christmas Eve.

She was due to visit Tesco in Bridge Road but had not been seen or heard from since.

However, Kent Police revealed tonight that Samantha had now been found safe and well and thanked the public for their help.
