A body has been found by police searching for a teenager who went missing in the New Forest.

The discovery was made in the national park near Ringwood shortly after 14:30 GMT.

Ross Haughey, 17, has not been seen since Sunday when he left his Abbottswell Road home at Frogham in the New Forest.

School friends from The Burgate School and Sixth Form in Fordingbridge set up a Facebook page and also joined the search for Ross.
