Police Lockdown at M1 Newport Pagnell Services After Child Vanishes

Newport Pagnell services on the M1 motorway have been plunged into chaos after a young boy vanished during a school coach trip. Police launched a full lockdown, with helicopters and search dogs combing the area.

Desperate Search Underway for Missing Schoolboy

Officers are scouring CCTV footage and interviewing staff at the service station to track the missing child. The boy’s parents, from Nottinghamshire, are being kept updated as the hunt continues.

Services Closed as Police Seek Vital Clues

Both northbound and southbound services are shut to the public. Thames Valley Police identified the missing boy as Adil, aged 6-7, Asian, wearing a grey school uniform and a black-and-white skull cap.

Adil was last seen at Newport Pagnell while on a school trip from Nottingham. Unfamiliar with the area, his disappearance has sparked a major response with helicopters in the sky and police dogs scouring the grounds.
