A missing father and his two young children have been found safe and well in Brighton after a public appeal by Sussex Police for help tracing them.
The force said: “Robert Roche and his two small children have been found safe and well in Brighton.
“They had been missing since Monday morning (14 August) from their home in Hove and were spotted in London Road, Brighton, just after 10am on Tuesday (15 August) by a PCSO.”
Superintendent Ed De la Rue said: “It is a big relief to everyone to know they have been found and we would like to thank to the public and news media for all the interest they have showed during the search.
“In particular, we had a call this morning from a member of the public who had seen a man with children answering the descriptions in the area of London Road, which really helped us focus our search.”
The man and children are currently with officers for a welfare and health check, and to establish the circumstances of their disappearance.
