A 15-year-old girl who was missing from her home in Leigh for a week has been found safe and well.

Stacey McHugh, of Regina Crescent, had not been seen since Wednesday, May 5 when her parents dropped her off at school.

An appeal for information about her whereabouts was made by the police who were concerned for her welfare because she had no history of running away. A police spokesman said: "She was found safe and well last night."
