TWO teenage girls who sparked a police search after going missing turned up safe and well at college yesterday.

Police had issued appeals to find the whereabouts of Lorraine Harland, 16, of Fence Houses, near Chester-le-Street, County Durham, and friend Leanne McAllister, 15, of Howdon, Wallsend, Tyneside.

Their worried families had not heard from them since they made phone calls home, on Friday. It is thought they may have attended a party in the Red House area of Sunderland.

A Durham Police spokesman said the girls had been spoken to by Sunderland officers.
