Chorley teenager is found 'safe and well' after going missing for 5 days

Police had been searching for Lewis Connoly, from Buckshaw Village, since he left home to board a train to Manchester at around 5.50pm on January 2.

A missing persons appeal was issued yesterday (January 6) after Lancashire Police said it was becoming increasingly concerned for his welfare.

Greater Manchester Police were asked to help with the search after the boy was believed to have travelled to Manchester.

Lancashire Police has thanked the public for its help in finding the missing teen.
