A woman has been arrested and quizzed over the disappearance of a 12-year-old Sheffield boy, police revealed today.

The 51-year-old woman, from Sheffield, was arrested after a boy, named only as Mark, was reported missing earlier this week. Police issued an appeal for information about the disappearance on Wednesday and the youngster was found safe and well in Longley on Thursday night.

He had last been seen in Parson Cross on Monday when he vanished and a 46-year-old Sheffield man was arrested on suspicion of abduction. He was later bailed pending further enquiries.
