Missing boy Adam Glanville and mother located Police appealed for information to locate Adam Glanville who had been reported missing and was believed to be with his mother Karima Mahmoud. We are pleased to confirm that Adam was located safe and well on 13 February and is now with family. Karima Mahmoud, 44, was in breach of a court order and is due to appear at the Central Family Court on Monday, 17 February. We also appealed for assistance to trace two men who were involved in an altercation with another man at the time Adam and his mother were last seen together in Richmond on 3 June 2024. Both these men, aged in their 50s, have been traced and arrested on suspicion of child abduction. They have both been bailed pending further enquiries. A third man, also aged in his 50s, was arrested on suspicion of child abduction – he has been bailed pending further enquiries. We thank the media for their assistance in publicising our appeals in relation to this case and now that Adam has been located and the two men identified, we ask that all images are removed from circulation.
