A 15-year-old girl who had gone missing from the Coalville area has been found safe.

Aliyah Nobre had been reported as missing earlier this month.

A spokesperson for Leicestershire Police confirmed today (Friday) that she had been found and added: "Thank you to everyone who shared our appeal and provided information."

Police had been growing increasingly concerned for Aliyah's welfare - and issued an appeal for information three weeks ago.

Aliyah, from the Bardon area of Coalville, was seen in Leicester on May 5.

She had been reported missing two days earlier.
