Missing girl found in Yorkshire

Dewsbury
Police are speaking to Lauren Morgan after she turned up in Dewsbury

A 13-year-old girl who went missing has been found after walking into a police station about 150 miles from her home.

Police had been "very concerned" about Lauren Morgan, who had not been seen since Friday night, and could have met people she knew through the internet.

But on Sunday morning she reported to police in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.

Dyfed-Powys officers say Lauren, of Howey, Llandrindod Wells, is "apparently safe and well" and are travelling to Dewsbury to see her.

Earlier, police said Lauren had been communicating with people on social networking websites.

She had last been spotted at 2200 BST on Friday, and Lauren was asked to contact police or her family to let them know she was safe and well.

Officers said she could have travelled to meet an internet contact or had been met by one of them.

She had gone missing before and police had also said she could have been with friends in her home area.

Specially trained officers are talking to Lauren to try to discover where she has been since Friday night, while Dyfed-Powys make their way to Dewsbury to help their colleagues.
