A teenager from Oldham who had been missing for more than a week has now been found and reunited with his family.

Dillon Duffy, from Chadderton, was reported missing on Tuesday, June 18, after his mother, Donna, last saw him outside Asda Chadderton on Milne Street.

CCTV footage showed that Dillon had travelled down to London and arrived at Euston train station, with his last sighting being shortly before 5pm that evening.

A search was launched for him, which was led by the Metropolitan Police, and now, Dillon has been found 10 days after first being reported missing.

In a post on Facebook, Donna shared the news that her son had been found and reunited with his father, Jamie, after he posted in the Facebook group set up to help find him.

Donna confirmed to The Oldham Times that her son is in a hotel with his father and that she will be reunited with him later today (Saturday, June 29).

She wrote: "Today has been eventful, firstly my husband Jamie Duffy decided to drive back down to London with his friends. He felt he needed to be down there as he knew that was the last sighting of Dillon and he felt he was better use walking around and looking for him.

"Later that evening whilst I sat at home a huge amount of notifications started to come through. Dillon had posted in the group.

"What Dillon has done is amazing. He had the confidence to reach out and tell his own story. Immediately I just wanted to find him. Everyone was frantically trying to get hold of him. Eventually I spoke to him, it was Dillon his voice and it broke me. To hear my boys voice was the best feeling in the world. I stayed on the phone until his dad reached his location. Then I heard in the background Dillon Dillon! His dad was with him he was safe."

Donna added that the last 10 days had been "hell" but that she was "excited" to see her son.

"In time I'm sure Dillon will share his story again, but please respect our privacy."
