A missing teenage girl has been found safe and well.

Rebecca Roe, 16, disappeared from her Laisterdyke home over two weeks ago.

Her mother Joanne spoke of her joy at getting her daughter back home.

She said: "We have got her back now but for the first week I was so worried that she was dead.

"I was going to put up posters in the area but then we found her in the Shipley area.

"She is safe and well and we are so happy to have her back.

"We just have to pick up the pieces now."

Rebecca has been reunited with her brother and four sisters.

On Saturday, March 30, Rebecca told her parents John and Joanne that she was going for a day trip to Blackpool.

She did not return but a few days later wrote to her parents telling them she was living in Leeds.

But the letter was postmarked Bradford.

Mrs Roe thanked everyone who helped the family look for Rebecca, including the police and National Missing Persons office who put her on their list.

"We put her disappearance down to teenage vulnerability," she added.
