POLICE were twice called out to Sidmouth in the last week responding to reports of missing children.

Officers were called to Jacob's Ladder on Thursday, August 27 at 4.35pm following reports of a missing eight-year-old girl-her parents had not seen her for at least 30 minutes when they rang 999.

But at 5.44pm police found her safe and well at the Ham Car Park, waiting for her parents at their car.

Two days later at 2pm, a three-year-old boy was found wandering the Esplanade by a member of the public.

Officers went to the spot and soon reunited the boy with his parents who were searching for him close-by.
