FOUND: Police on the Isle of Wight are becoming increasingly concerned for the safety of a missing 12-year-old girl from Ventnor named Chloe Harrison, who hasn’t been seen since last night (Wednesday).
Chloe was last seen at around 21:30 at Newport Bus Station when her friend left her at the bus stop, where she was meant to get a bus back to her home in Ventnor. Worryingly, Chloe did not return home and has not made contact with her family since.
This type of behaviour is said to be out of character for Chloe and her family are growing increasingly concerned for her safety.
Chloe is described as white, around 5ft 2ins tall and of a slight build. She has straight shoulder-length brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a pink hooded top.
Police are believed to be searching through CCTV footage from Newport Bus Station in a bid to trace Chloe’s movements.
UPDATE @ 12:03 – WightSAR, the Island’s volunteer search and rescue organisation say they have been placed on standby by Hampshire Constabulary this lunchtime.
UPDATE @ 14:15 – Search and Rescue teams from WightSAR have now been deployed to assist in the search for Chloe Harrison.
The 12-year-old has now been missing for over 17 hours.
UPDATE @ 14:25 – Chloe Harrison has been found safe and well in Newport, according to her family and Police.
The search efforts have been called off.
