A young 12-year-old boy who went missing from Kilburn has been found.

Leopold Bennet-Budkinov was last seen at 4pm on August 1 at his home in Kilburn but police reported "he was found safe and well" on Tuesday (August 3).

Police previously said Leopold was upset at the time of his disappearance and did not have money, a phone or any means of getting around.

Officers were increasingly concerned for the 12-year-old's wellbeing and urged anyone with information on his whereabouts to call police on 101.
