A Fife teenager who vanished while walking his dog has been found.

The 14-year-old boy's disappearance sparked a police search and public appeal on Tuesday night after he was last seen leaving an address in Crossford at around 2pm earlier that day.

On Wednesday, police confirmed that the teen and his Border Collie had been traced in the Comrie area in the early hours of the morning.

A force spokesperson said: "The 14-year-old was found with his dog by members of the public in the Comrie area of Dunfermline.

"Officers would like to thank the public, especially the local community, for their overwhelming support and assistance during the search."
