She was last seen in her bedroom, possibly talking to someone on FaceTime, at 11.30pm but at 2am she was missing.

A Sussex Police spokesman said that she was found in the Croydon area this afternoon.

He said there had been no arrests but Jasmine was talking with officers from the Metropolitan Police and had not yet been reunited with her parents.

A spokesman said earlier: "It is thought Jasmine may have gone off in a car with an older man, travelling towards London on the A24, or may have travelled somewhere by train."
