A vulnerable teenager missing from a mental health unit has been found, according to social media.
Ricky Thorn, 17, was last seen yesterday morning (May 12) at 9am when he left the Brookside Mental Health Unit in Ilford.
It is understood he could have been making his way into central London and officers and Ricky's parents were concerned he may be a risk to himself.
Redbridge police posted a message on Twitter at 8pm yesterday confirming the 17-year-old had been found.
