A missing 14-year-old girl has been found after a police operation to trace her.

The teenager was believed to have boarded a train from Canterbury West railway station accompanied by an unknown older man yesterday.

It was thought they got on a London-bound service at about 1.30pm and that they may have been heading to an address in Welling in Bexley.

In an update from police this morning, the force confirmed she had been located and that officers wish to thank all those who assisted in the search to find her.
