A SCHOOLGIRL who sparked a massive search after vanishing from a popular seaside town has been found safe and well.
Cops had launched the urgent search after Pixie, 12, disappeared from Bournemouth – having last been seen in the Westbourne area of the town at around 12.15pm on Saturday.
However, in an update yesterday, police confirmed they had found Pixie, following enquiries and an extensive search by officers.
A spokesperson for Dorset Police said: “We would like to thank the members of the public who contacted us with information and helped with sharing our appeal.”

“I would urge anyone who has seen Pixie, or has information about her whereabouts, to please get in touch.
