A missing teenager at the centre of an urgent police appeal has been found safe and well.

North Yorkshire Police yesterday (October 15) issued an urgent appeal to find the 17-year-old, who had last seen at 7pm on October 14 in the Carlton area of Selby.

“Her family and friends have been unable to contact her ever since and we’re growing increasingly concerned for her welfare,” said a spokesperson for the force.

However, in an update last night North Yorkshire Police said: "She has now been found safe and well, thank you to everyone who share our appeal to locate her."
