Missing teenager April Vandore is back at her home in Appleton, near Abingdon, after being found in Birmingham.

Her parents John and Janet made an appeal in the Oxford Mail this week for information about her whereabouts.

They had not seen their 17-year-old daughter since September 22.

Police said yesterday that Miss Vandore, who started equestrian studies at Abingdon and Witney College earlier this month, had been found "safe and well", but did not reveal any further details.
