The search for the missing 12-year-old Olivia Coleman has been stood down after she was found safe and well.

She had disappeared from her home in Lancing, West Sussex in the early hours of this morning.

She was last seen in her bedroom, possibly talking to someone on FaceTime, at 11.30pm but at 2am she was missing.

A Sussex Police spokesman said that she was found in the Croydon area this afternoon.

He said there had been no arrests but Jasmine was talking with officers from the Metropolitan Police and had not yet been reunited with her parents.

A spokesman said earlier: "It is thought Jasmine may have gone off in a car with an older man, travelling towards London on the A24, or may have travelled somewhere by train."
