One of two teenage girls reported missing from Canterbury more than a week ago has been found safe.

Police say they are no longer concerned for the welfare of the 16-year-old but still anxious to trace 17-year-old Ebony Russell.

She was last seen at a friend’s house in Canterbury on Friday, April 27 and was wearing black jeans, black trainers and a white puffa jacket.

Police say she is now believed to have dyed her hair purple and left the county and they are continuing the appeal to find her.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting reference 27-1443.
