RCMP say missing 12-year-old girl from Surrey found safe

A 12-year-old girl that was missing since Monday, May 15 has been found safe, Surrey RCMP say.

After Surrey RCMP shared a statement Sunday about the missing child, it said on Monday that it received numerous tips from the public and based on third party sightings, “she is believed to be in the Vancouver area in the company of others, including another youth.”

RCMP then updated the public to say the girl was located in Vancouver.

“Thank you to the public, media as well as our policing and community partners for their assistance,” RCMP said.

Editor’s note: A previous version of this story included pictures and names identifying the missing child. These details have been removed now that they have been found.
