Prince George RCMP say a 12-year-old boy who had been missing since Wednesday evening has been located and is safe.
The boy was cold and hungry, with a few bruises, but was otherwise unhurt when he was found by Quesnel Search and Rescue, police said.
It was not immediately clear where the boy was found, or how far it was from where he had been reported missing.
