Three boys who prompted a huge police search after going missing from a remote Lake District village have been found.

Officers said Logan Gray, nine, Kye Hollingworth, 13, and Harley Anderton, 14, disappeared from Witherslack on Tuesday. The three were believed to be together and police carried out searches overnight in the local area.

A spokesperson for Cumbria constabulary said shortly after midday on Wednesday that the boys had been found.

The force had earlier issued an urgent media appeal for information about their whereabouts, releasing pictures of the boys and descriptions of their appearance.

Witherslack is a village of 500 people at the southern tip of the Lake District. It sits between the foot of Lake Windermere and the northern side of Morecambe Bay.
