Burnham-On-Sea Police say that missing teenager Aleisha has been found following an earlier appeal for information.
Officers had said on Saturday that she had been expected to come home after a work placement in Burnham-On-Sea, but this had not happened, leading Avon and Somerset Police to express concern as to her whereabouts.
But on Sunday morning, a Police spokesman said the 16 year old had been found safe and well.
The spokesman added: “We’d like to thank everyone who got in touch with information or shared the appeal.”
