Separately, motorway police patrol officers found a 12-year-old boy in distress.

When they approached the child it transpired that the boy was mentally challenged and could not recall the name of his village. NHMP officers made announcements from local mosques of the nearby area giving description of the boy and asking his parents to come and take him.

This effort proved to be effective and the father of the boy was traced. The boy was handed over to his family.
