Melbourne teenager missing for 30 hours found safe

A teenage boy from Melbourne's west missing for more than a day has been found safe and well.

Earlier today, Liam San Jose's parents made an emotional plea for help finding their teenage son.

The 17-year-old had only just returned from a brief walk around his Burnside neighbourhood yesterday at around 2.15pm, when he announced he was going for another walk, but never returned.

Liam requires regular medication and has a fascination with water. With creeks and lakes running nearby, every hour that passed was critical in the search to find him.

Just before 7pm, Liam's parents were contacted by police to say the teenager had been spotted walking along a street in Reservoir.

Police wish to thank the public for their assistance locating the teenager.
