Two vulnerable girls who went missing and were believed to be around 132 miles away from home have been found “safe and well”.
An urgent search took place for Grace, 12, and 15-year-old Abbie, who were reported missing together from Worthing, West Sussex.
Police launched a missing persons appeal saying they were last seen in Goring-by-Sea at 8am on Friday, and were believed to be using public transport to travel around the country.
Sussex Police said on Sunday afternoon that there is reason to believe they may be in Birmingham city centre.
They later confirmed the girls had been found safe and well in Birmingham.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
