A six-year-old who went missing in Greenwich has been found safe and well, the Met Police said on Tuesday morning.

Eudine was reported missing from the Thamesmead Estate on Monday 29 July at 10.40pm.

She was captured on CCTV walking alone in Defence Close, Thamesmead at around midday.

In the footage, the young girl is seen alone in her pyjamas as she watches a passer-by walk past her. She then continues to walk along the pavement, though appears to stumble often as she walks.
