A one-year-old infant and their parents who were reported missing from Wales more than a week ago have been found safe and well in Scotland.

Leanca Rostas, 34, and Marcel Rostas, 35, had last been seen with their one-year-old child, Matie, at University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff on Wednesday, February 16. 

The family disappeared at around midnight that day and since then police had been trying to find out where they were after they were reported missing. 

Officers said yesterday that they believed the family had travelled more than 300 miles to Scotland.

They said they were focusing their enquiries on the Glenrothes area of Fife, which is north of Edinburgh. 

Police Scotland had said it was assisting its colleagues at South Wales Police in its attempts to find the family, with concerns about their safety and welfare rising.

Now the force has said it has found the family safe and well, with officers confirming this earlier this morning. 

Details of exactly where the family were found have not been released, with officers saying only they were found north of the border in Scotland.
