A missing 15-year-old girl from Ipswich, who was believed to be in Great Yarmouth, has been found.

Courtney Laird had last been seen at her home address, in Ravenswood Avenue, Ipswich at 4.45pm on Thursday, December 27, when she went out for a walk.

She did not return home as expected and police had carried out a number of inquiries to try to locate her.

It was believed she was in the Great Yarmouth area, but she was found in Kessingland, near Lowestoft, on New Year's Day.

A Suffolk Constabulary spokesman said: 'Police would like to thank the public and media for their support during this missing person enquiry.'
