Three teen friends who sparked police hunt after vanishing are found

Three teenage friends who sparked an urgent police hunt after they suddenly went missing have now been safely located.

Detectives grew 'increasingly concerned' after Shelley, 14, Roxanna, 13, and 15 year old Jack were not seen for several days.

Officers went public with their appeal for Shelley for the first time yesterday, who was last seen in Eastleigh near Southampton, Hampshire, seven days ago.

They then extended that search to include Jack, who had not been seen in the same town since yesterday, and Roxanna who was last spotted at her home in nearby Bursledon on Saturday morning. 

Police believed the trio may have travelled to London. Now, the force has thanked people for sharing the appeal to help find them.

Shelley was described as being white, 5ft 3ins to 5ft 5ins tall, with long light brown hair which is usually worn in a bun.

She was last seen wearing black leggings, a blue t-shirt and a white puffer gillet and carrying a black handbag.

Roxanna was described as white, 5ft 3ins to 5ft 5ins, average build with blue eyes and long brown hair.

She was last seen wearing a grey hoodie, a black puffer jacket and black trainers.

Jack, who is also white, was described as being 5ft 9ins tall, of slim build and with dark ginger hair which is long on top.

He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, light blue cargo trousers, white trainers, a black coat and carrying a black bag.
