Naif Police station found a 10-year-old African boy and handed him over safely to his family after he was missing for some time.

Details date back to the time when a person saw a barefoot crying child wandering around alone, and handed him over to the police station.

When the police team asked him about his name and where he lived, he said he did not know.

After a few moments one of the patrol members recognised him, affirming that he used to see the child playing in one of the areas in Naif.

After investigations, the police identified the street where he lived, and the patrols inquired a grocery, until the child's parents were identified within minutes.

Then Lieutenant Nouf Khaled Ahali took him to his family, who reported that when he found the door open, he left the house while the mother was busy and the father was out.
