A TEENAGE girl who had been missing for more than a week has been found "safe and well" almost 30 miles away.

Monika Molnar, 14, was last seen leaving her home address in Halifax on Monday, August 9.

West Yorkshire Police released an appeal to find her last Wednesday as they were growing increasingly concerned for her welfare.

But the force gave an update today to say Monika had been found "safe and well" in Manchester.

A spokesperson for police said: "Monika Molnar, who was the subject of an earlier missing person appeal has been located in Manchester safe and well. 

"Thank you for all the shares."
