Three men have been arrested in Bristol by police investigating a suspected child abduction.

Madison Thomas, known as Maddie, disappeared from her foster home in Southmead, Bristol, on the afternoon of April 26.

On Wednesday, Avon and Somerset Police said officers were treating the incident as child abduction rather than a missing persons case.

It said at 12.45pm on Thursday that Maddie had been found at an address in Bristol, and three men at the property have been arrested on suspicion of child abduction.

Maddie was last seen when she told a relative that she was going to a shop.
