A 15-year-old boy from Afega who went missing last week has been reunited with his family.

The Samoa Police Service (SPS) initially made a public appeal to assist in locating Justine Simo. But has advised that the boy has been found and reunited with his family. 

The teenager went to a shop on Saturday, March 23 at around 9.15pm and did not return home that night, leading to the family reporting the matter to the Police.

His family acknowledged the work of the Police and members of the public who assisted in locating him. Mr Simo currently attends the Sagaga College.
