A 15-year-old teenager who had been missing for a fortnight has been found safe and well.

Catarina was first reported missing on December 7, but she returned home, before disappearing again, leading to police putting out a fresh appeal just before Christmas, which was renewed again yesterday.

Catarina was last seen in Ipswich at around 5pm on Friday 31 December but she was found safe and well earlier today, Wednesday 5 January.

Police would like to thank the public, partners and media for their help with this matter.
