Missing Wembley teenager found ‘safe and well’

A teenager who was missing for more than 10 days was found “safe and well” in the early hours of Thursday morning, police have said.

Rashid Elsafi-Bakkar, 14, had been reported missing on Monday, March 21, after he was last seen at his home in Wembley, north London, the day before.

On Wednesday, police had released three video clips and an image of teen, with officers saying they were “extremely concerned” for his welfare.

Detective Superintendent Pete Wallis, said at the time of the renewed appeal that his family was “distraught” and that staff and peers at the youngster’s school were “hugely worried” about him.

Police had urged the public to keep an eye out for Rashid in a bid to find him.

The head of Rashid's school had previously said he had excellent attendance, worked hard and his disappearance was "out of character".
