A 15-YEAR-OLD girl who vanished from home after going ice skating has been found.

Louise Evans, from Haslingden, was last seen at Blackburn Ice Arena at about 4.30pm on Tuesday.

Following an appeal from police in Saturday's Telegraph, Louise contacted a member of her family to say she was in the Darwen area.

She was then collected in Blackburn town centre and reunited with her parents.

DS Ian Taylor said officers were not treating the incident as a criminal matter.

He said: "She contacted a family member to say she had been in Darwen and was collected in Blackburn.

"She has come to no harm and is now reunited with her family who were very relieved."
