POLICE who were concerned over the welfare of a 15-year-old girl have found her safe and well.

Lauren Davidson, who has a medical condition, was last seen at an address in Gorse Hill at 10.30pm on Monday.

But she was found at a nearby property by police shortly after officers made a public appeal.

A Wiltshire Police spokeswoman said: “I can confirm that Lauren has been found safe and well at an address in Beatrice Street, Swindon, at 2.45pm yesterday.

Detective Inspector Andy Bridge of Wiltshire Police said Lauren was considered vulnerable not only due to her age but the fact that she has a medical condition, which requires constant attention.

She had not taken her medication with her and her family and the police were getting increasingly concerned.
