A six-year-old who went missing in Greenwich has been found safe and well, the Met Police said on Tuesday morning.

Eudine was reported missing from the Thamesmead Estate on Monday 29 July at 10.40pm.

She was captured on CCTV walking alone in Defence Close, Thamesmead at around midday.

In the footage, the young girl is seen alone in her pyjamas as she watches a passer-by walk past her. She then continues to walk along the pavement, though appears to stumble often as she walks.

The Met Police’s Greenwich borough unit posted on X today at 9.39am: “We are very pleased to report that six-year-old Eudine has been found safe and well. Thanks very much to everyone who shared the appeal.”

People in Thamesmead and nearby areas had been asked to check gardens, sheds and locked areas, as well as any CCTV or doorbell footage.

“We are extremely concerned for her welfare and officers are carrying out urgent enquiries to find her,” the force previously said in a statement.
