Two police officers on holiday in Spain accidentally locate a missing England fan, according to reports. The man, identified as Michael Hewitt—also known as “Little Mick”—is found after having lost his phone while travelling.
Hewitt was travelling via Barcelona as he made his way to Boston, intending to watch an England match against Ghana. He had reportedly been unaware that searches for him were underway, as his phone was missing. Multiple outlets describe the situation as a chance discovery by the officers rather than the result of a coordinated operation.
The two articles largely agree on the core timeline and circumstances: Hewitt’s travel route through Barcelona, his plan to attend the match, and the fact that the officers encounter him unintentionally during their break in Spain. Differences are minimal, with one outlet phrasing the incident as officers “accidentally” finding him and another describing it more generally as finding him “by accident.”
