Missing autistic boy found safe and well

Police say an 11-year-old autistic boy who went missing in the Glen Innes area of Auckland has been found safe and well.

A search for Brook Levi last night with a team of 30 people proved unsuccessful, and police were particularly concerned because Brook likes to walk through bushes and near water.

Police thanked media for their assistance in locating the boy.
