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.
