THREE schoolboys missing after they became separated from a group on the Lancashire moors have been found safe.
The boys, aged nine, 12 and 13, were last seen about 4pm on Wednesday near Widdop and Coldwell Reservoirs, above Nelson.
Teams from various mountain rescue squads and a police helicopter were used in the search.
A police spokesman said: "They were found by an officer in Burnley town centre all together and safe and well.
"We took them to Burnley police station for a nice hot cup of tea."
