Kilsyth man, Daniel, who went missing from his care facility on Sunday 20 February was found by police alive and well at the end of last week.
Croydon police confirmed Daniel had been located in Yering after an appeal for public assistance happened on Thursday 24 February.
Parents Julian and Sarah Warren had been concerned for Daniel’s welfare because of his mental health and medical conditions.
Having taken his bike and wetsuit with him, police and his parents had thought he might have travelled to the Yarra River but were grateful to find him safe in Yering.
