Three men have been arrested on suspicion of child abduction after a boy missing for over eight months was found.

Adam Glanville was found on February 13 after the seven-year-old was last seen with his mother in Richmond on June 3, 2024.

At the time, the police also appealed for help finding two men who were involved in an altercation with another man at the time Adam and his mother were last seen.

Both these men, aged in their 50s, have been traced and arrested on suspicion of child abduction.

A third man, also aged in his 50s, has also been arrested on suspicion of child abduction.

All three have been bailed pending further enquiries.

The mother, Karima Mahmoud, 44, was in breach of a court order and is due to appear at the Central Family Court on Monday, 17 February.

Adam is reported by the Metropolitan Police as being “safe and well… with family”.
