Missing Membury boy could be in Greece
A CHARITY has received information that missing Membury boy Arthur Heeler-Frood may be in Greece.
Arthur, a 15-year-old Colyton Grammar School student, has been missing from his home in Membury, near Axminster, since Tuesday, September 6th.
Greek missing children’s charity ‘The Smile of The Child’ reported last week that it had received information from Missing People, its partner organisation in the UK, saying that Arthur was believed to possibly be in Greece.
Police have not confirmed this and said they have not received any information themselves to suggest Arthur is in Greece, but enquiries are ongoing.
