Two young boys were found in a McDonald's restaurant by police after they sneaked out for a burger at 2am.

The young friends, aged 10 and 11, were both wearing onesies.

They were spotted by a member of the public walking along Blackburn Street in Radcliffe town centre, Bury , at around 2am this morning.

Police said the woman stopped them and concerned for their safety, asked them were they were going.

They told her they were walking to the McDonald's at the Riverside Retail Park in Radcliffe.

She dialled 999 and told police officers in Radcliffe - who attended the 24-hour fast-food restaurant to find both youngsters there.

They were unhurt. Police said they were staying the night at the home of one of the boys, around a 10-minute walk away from the restaurant.

His mum was asleep at the time and had no idea they had left the house.

The spokesman said: “The police took them back home and she got the shock of their life when she saw them.

"A member of the public saw two lads walking along in their onesies on Blackburn Street.

"She asked them where they were going and they said McDonalds.

“Police then went to McDonalds. The kids said they didn’t know what time it was.

"They were staying overnight at one of their mum’s houses. She was asleep and did not know that they had gone out.”

No further action is being taken.
