All four children who disappeared from their homes in York have been found after an urgent search was launched.

North Yorkshire Police said on Sunday that it was looking for twins Harrison and Harper, aged 11, Lacie, 12 and Chelsea, 13, who were believed to be together.

They were last seen at their homes on Friday but after they failed to return home police launched an urgent appeal for information.
