University of Sheffield student found safe after three weeks

A missing University of Sheffield student has been found safe and well nearly a month after he was last seen.
Francisco Parente was last seen around Western Road, Crookes more than four weeks ago on Sunday 16 June.
Posters were put up around the student areas of Sheffield, including Broomhill, the city centre, and the university campus, but now Francisco has been found in Copenhagen, Denmark according to the Sheffield Star.
South Yorkshire Police said in a statement that they had spoken to the student via Skype, and that he is safe.
No information has been released about how or why he ended up in Copenhagen, but the student community are sure to be relieved following this news.
