A missing 17-year-old girl from Hove has been found, Sussex Police said today (Friday 10 March).
Charlotte Dunford had been missing for almost a fortnight after last having been seen in Kingsway, Hove, on Saturday 25 February.
Last Friday (Friday 3 March) Sussex Police issued a public appeal for help in finding her, saying: “Police are concerned about the welfare of missing 17-year-old Charlotte Dunford.”
Today the force said: “The missing 17-year-old from Hove went missing on Saturday (25 February) and was found shortly after midnight on Friday (10 March) in Brighton.”
Last Saturday, however, she told concerned friends on Facebook: “Lol I’m not missing like that I’m wanted an didn’t wanna get nicked and ain’t been my hostel so they reported me missing.”
And later the same day in reply to another concerned friend she said: “It’s not my mum who reported me missing I’m wanted and on the run and didn’t go to my hostel so they kicked me out and reported me missing.”
