Two teenage girls who went missing from their home near Whaley Bridge on Tuesday night have been found.

Layla Mann, 13, and 14-year-old Africa Bennett went missing at around 8.30pm on Tuesday and police had expressed concerns about their safety, believing they were in the Manchester city centre area. 

On Thursday morning, Derbyshire Constabulary said in a statement: "Missing teenagers Africa Bennett and Layla Mann have returned to their home address safe and well. Thank you to everyone that shared our appeal to help find them."
