A MISSING man from Didcot has been located safe and well just hours after an appeal was launched by Thames Valley Police this morning.

Peter Maidment, 51, was last seen in Lower Broadway at about 8am yesterday.

Investigating Officer, Insp Nick Cain based at Didcot police station, said earlier: “We are very worried for the welfare of Peter."

About two hours since the original appeal police have now posted a statement which reads: "Thames Valley Police can confirm that missing man Peter Maidment has returned home safe and well.

"Thanks for everyone's help."
