Police have found a teenager after an appeal in connection with an ongoing burglary investigation.

Officers wanted to speak to the 17-year-old in connection with an ongoing burglary probe.

He had been last known to be in Basildon overnight.

He has now been found.

An Essex Police spokesman said: "We are no longer looking for [the teenager] who we had wanted to speak to in connection with an ongoing burglary investigation.

"A 17 year-old boy has now been arrested.

"Thank you for your support in sharing our appeal."
