POLICE are no longer searching for a missing teenager who hadn't been seen for three days.
Over the weekend, Essex Police had appealed for the public's help to find 16-year-old Imad Boutaher who had last been seen in Colchester on Thursday.
In a statement on Sunday evening, a spokesman for the force said: "Good news! We're no longer looking for Imad Boutaher who was missing from Colchester.
"He has now been found. Thank you for sharing our appeal."
