Police have located the 17-year-old who absconded from a youth facility in Wiri on Saturday 4 July.

He was located by Police staff at an address in the Manurewa area on Friday evening and was taken into custody without incident.

The 17-year-old will face a charge of escaping from lawful custody and will appear in the Manukau Youth Court on Saturday 18 July 2020.
