Police have issued an appeal for information about a couple and their nine-year-old son who have been missing from their home for nearly three weeks.

Robert and Suphan Goodman and their son James were last seen in Swindon, Wiltshire on March 21.

They were reported missing by the local authority when James had not been seen at school for several weeks.

Concerns over his welfare were raised with police by an education worker at Swindon Borough Council, sparking a missing persons enquiry, a council spokesman said.
