A TEENAGE schoolgirl missing from home for nearly a month has been traced to the Charing Cross area of London.
Gail Pooley, 14, who lives with foster parents in Leam Lane, Felling, near Gateshead, has not been seen by her family since September 28, when she was dropped off at Lord Lawson School in Birtley.
Police, who were growing increasingly concerned for her welfare, say publicity over her disappearance had helped trace the girl to the Charing Cross area. They are now making arrangements to have her returned to the North-East.
