AN URGENT hunt was launched to find a man who went missing with four children – but they have all since been found.
Jethro Cox, 38, was last seen at his Chelmsford, Essex, home and is believed to be with a five-year-old, a four-year-old and two tots aged two.
Cox is described as 6ft tall, with brown hair, stubble and has tattoos on his arm.
He was wearing a white jumper, jeans and white trainers when he was last sighted and is believed to be driving a white Ford C-Max.
Cox has links to Romford and Hainault, in east London, and "may have travelled in that direction from Essex", say the force.
Essex Police previously said: "We're working hard to find Jethro Cox, who is missing from his home in Chelmsford.
"We believe the 38-year-old is with four children aged five, four and two two-year-olds and is driving a white Ford C-Max.
"We're concerned for his welfare and we've got officers searching for him.
"If you've seen Jethro and the four children, or if you know where they are, please call us immediately on 101."
But they since provided an update to say they had found all five of the group.
Essex Police said: "Good news! We're no longer searching for Jethro Cox who had been missing with four children.
"All five individuals have been located safely and without incident.
"We thank everyone who took the time to share our appeal; your efforts really do make a difference."
