A teenager from Britain who was found in southern France after disappearing six years ago is expected to return to his family in northern England in the next few days, Manchester police said on Friday (December 15)
Alex Batty disappeared at the age of 11 during a holiday with his mother and grandfather to Malaga, Spain, in 2017 and both are still wanted in connection with his disappearance.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) told a news conference on Friday they were working with the French authorities to bring Batty back to Britain, and to his grandmother, who British media have reported was his legal guardian.
A French newspaper reported a delivery driver spotted the teenager wandering along a highway in the region around the southern city of Toulouse, after having fled a spiritualist mountain community in the Pyrenees mountains.
Manchester police said they were still working to establish the full circumstances of Batty's disappearance and where he had been for the last six years, adding: "obviously his mother is part of that conversation and investigation."
