Missing Girl At Centre Of Police Search Found

A young girl who went missing from her Sussex home, prompting a police appeal, has been found.

Jasmine Coleman, 12, had last been seen in her bedroom at her home in Lancing, West Sussex, around 11.30pm, possibly talking to someone on FaceTime.

A further check at 2am on Saturday revealed she had vanished.

A Sussex Police spokesman said that she was found in the Croydon area on Saturday afternoon.

There have been no arrests but police said Jasmine was talking with officers from the Metropolitan Police and had not yet been reunited with her parents.

A spokesman said earlier: "It is thought Jasmine may have gone off in a car with an older man, travelling towards London on the A24, or may have travelled somewhere by train."
