In an update on Sunday afternoon, the force confirmed that all four children have been found safely.
A police spokesperson said: “All four missing children in York have now been found safe and well. Today we appealed for information about the two girls and two boys, aged 11 to 13, who went missing yesterday and were believed to be together.
“Following extensive searches of the city, all have now been located.”
The 11-year-old twins were found earlier this afternoon but the search for the two girls continued for some time after until police confirmed they were found just after 4:30pm.
North Yorkshire Police also added their thanks to everyone who shared the appeal.
