A 15-year-old boy who left a note saying he was "bored" with his life before he went missing two months ago has been found safe 10 miles from home.

Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed Arthur Heeler-Frood from Axminster, Devon, was "safe and well".

He was found at Honiton train station after police were alerted by a member of the public shortly after 16:30 GMT.

Arthur is now being reunited with his family, the force said.

He left the family home on the 6 September and failed to turn up at school.

The next day his parents received a letter from the teenager saying he would be back within a year and not to try to find him or make him come home.

Arthur Heeler-Frood's letter in full:

To Mum and Dad,

I have run away because I am bored of my life. Please don't try to find me or make me come home.

I don't know how long I will be away for but it won't be longer than a year. You will find my school uniform in a bin bag in a small barn in the field on the green, down the road near Membury Church.

My bike is chained to the fence and there is a spare key to the lock on the window. Please apologise to the restaurant and tell them that I will no longer be able to work there.

I know you will be upset but understand that I have to do this,

From Arthur.
