Woman spotted on moors found safe

A young woman who sparked a search operation after being spotted on moors in West Yorkshire overnight has been found safe and well, police have said.

The woman, thought to be about 19 years old, was seen walking near Todmorden in driving rain and winds wearing just a mini skirt, hoodie and fishnet tights.

A police helicopter and a search and rescue team spent Friday night and much of Saturday looking for her.

Her mother called police to say she made her way home on Friday night.
