Missing teenager Jade Lynch has been found "safe and well" in the Wigan area.
The 14-year-old was last seen in her home town of St Helens in Merseyside on 26 March.
"I'm pleased to announce that Jade was located safe and well in the Wigan area of Greater Manchester at approximately 9.30pm today, Wednesday 6th April," Detective Superintendent Jon Betts of Cheshire Police said.
"Now that we have located Jade we are currently in the process of returning her to a place of safety.
"We will continue to work with our partners to support Jade and her family over the coming days."
Police said earlier they had received a number of "promising" leads, including possible sightings in Manchester city centre.
They also described her as "an extremely vulnerable person".
On the day she disappeared, she left home heading for St Helens town centre with her two younger brothers.
She told them she was going to meet somebody and they parted company in the Duke Street area, where she was last seen.
The teenager’s social media accounts fell silent and her mobile phone was found at her home.
Her elder sister yesterday made an appeal for her safe return.
Stephanie Lynch said: "We really want her back. We love her so much. We just want to know she's safe. All kinds of things are running through our minds."
