A BOURNEMOUTH man who was reported missing by his concerned family has been found in Brighton.

Ryan Carney, 24, had not been seen since Thursday, May 5 when he left work to buy a birthday card for his grandfather. He did not return to his work at the Town Hall or his flat in Boscombe.

His frantic family had also not heard anything from him apart from when he sent his mother a text message telling her he loved her.

But a Dorset Police spokesman said yesterday: "Ryan Carney has been located in the Brighton area and he's no longer being treated as missing by his family.

"Dorset Police wishes to thank the media for their assistance with their enquiries.

"No further detail is being released at this time."
