A "distressed" naked boy who entered a pharmacy and started urinating in the store has been confirmed to be safe and well, police said.

Officers were called to Badham Pharmacy on Morley Avenue in Churchdown, Gloucestershire on 11 June.

A man who knew the boy was said to be outside the pharmacy, looking for him.

Five days later, the same child reportedly entered a stranger's house in the same area, and started undressing again.

Police confirmed they had spoken to the boy's parent.
