A MISSING girl from Chelmsford has been found in Weston-Super-Mare thanks to media coverage of the story.

Victoria Ayling was found today after a member of the public recognised her and contacted police.

The 14-year-old, who had been missing for nearly two weeks, was with 19-year-old Richard Lewis from Llanbradach in Mid Glamorgan, wanted by Essex Police for breaching his bail conditions.

Lewis has been arrested and both he and Victoria are being brought back to Essex.

It was the second time Victoria went missing from her home.

She was last reported missing by her father on April 19, and was later found in Swansea four days later.
