A TWELVE-year-old girl who had gone missing in Leigh has been found safe and well.

Greater Manchester Police launched an appeal on Friday to find missing Aaliyah Seerey after she had not been seen since 10.30pm the night before, with family and police growingly increasingly concerned for her welfare.

A spokesman for GMP said: "Twelve-year-old Aaliyah Seerey, who was reported missing from Leigh on Friday, September 22, has been found safe and well and she is currently being supported by officers."
