It is thought that the boys could possibly be together in the Balby, Belle Vue, Bawtry Road, or Doncaster Dome areas of Doncaster.

In a statement, South Yorkshire Police said: “Given the current cold weather conditions, police are also concerned for the welfare of them both and ask anyone with information about where they are to get in touch.”

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the two boys should call South Yorkshire Police on 101 and quote incident number 644 of January 13 to help officers locate them.
