Owen McNicholas has been found safe in Warrington this afternoon.
Merseyside Police would like to thank the public and the media for their assistance in publishing the appeal.


Owen may be wearing a blue Everton top underneath the grey hooded top described below.

During the hot weather it is possible that the Everton top will be quite prominent. Owen has the name 'David' on the back of the top, which is the name of a family member.

We would appeal for people to look out for Owen and take into account what he might now be wearing.
