A SCHOOLBOY missing from home for a week was back home with his parents last night.

However, Cleveland Police said they will be speaking to 13-year-old Aaron McQuen to find out where he has been.

The youngster was last seen by his parents last Wednesday. He telephoned them on Sunday to say he was at a friend's house and would be returning later.

Up until last night, he was reported to have been seen in the Middlesbrough area, but failed to reappear at his home on the town's Thorntree council estate.

Police wondered if he had gone to the Consett area with a friend, and contacted Durham Police for help.

A Cleveland Police spokesman said: "We are relieved that he has turned up safe and sound, but we will be speaking to him to find out where he has been.''
