A TEENAGE girl not seen for five days has now been found.

Police launched a missing persons appeal for 14-year-old Paige Leslie, who was last seen leaving her home in Curdridge.

Her family believed she had just gone out for the day, but when she failed to return that evening, concerns started to grow for her safety.

Officers have been searching for the teenager since she went missing on May 2, but on Thursday  turned to the public for their help in the hope of getting her home quickly and safely.

The last confirmed sighting of Paige was in Basingstoke where she was with a friend, but officers have revealed she also has links in Tadley and the Thames Valley.

Shortly after 11pm, Hampshire Constabulary said that Paige had been found safe and well.
