“Both sets of parents had been out looking for the children but when they couldn’t find them or get in touch with them via friends etc, they called the police.

“The boys were seen locally in Asda in Toryglen about an hour ago. We also know that they are actively avoiding police and contact from their families, however, whilst this may be the case, they are just 12-years-old and we need to make sure they are safe and well and get them back to their families who are of course very upset and concerned about them being away.”
