Police in the UK believe an eight-year-old boy who has been missing for nearly two months may be in Dublin.

Andrei Stoian was due to board a flight with his mother Georgeta at Liverpool’s Liverpool John Lennon Airport in May, but they never got on.

Police said they have now received information suggesting they may be in Dublin.

They had been living on Harrowby Road in Tranmere before they were reported missing.

Andrei is described as being of slim build, with olive skin, black hair of medium length and a straight fringe.

Anyone with any information on their whereabouts is urged to contact Merseyside Police @MerPolCC.
