Police have issued an update after a pupil went missing from a school in Bricket Wood.

The force received reports of a 10-year-old going missing from Mount Pleasant Lane Primary and Nursery School last Tuesday (July 7).

"It was reported the child was last seen at around 3.05pm in the school grounds," a spokesperson told The Herts Advertiser at the time.

"Officers worked closely with the school and searched the area."

An individual, who wished to remain anonymous, said an "extensive search" was carried out including officers, police drones and members of the community.

Hertfordshire Constabulary has confirmed the child was later found safe and well.

Mount Pleasant Primary Lane and Nursery School has been approached for further information.
