A NINE-YEAR-OLD who has vanished from the Yoker area of Glasgow on Monday has been found "safe and well".
A major search began after Skye Docherty, nine, went missing and was last seen at an address on Hawick Street at around 9.15 pm on Monday, June 25.
Now Police Scotland has confirmed she has been "traced safe and well in Glasgow this morning".
The force thanks social media users for sharing the appeal.
Officers had been speaking to those in the local area as well as speaking to family and friends in efforts to trace her.
Sergeant Jamie Madden, Drumchapel Police Office, said when appealing for help: “We are currently working to trace Skye, who has never been missing before. It is out of character for her to leave her home on her own without anybody knowing where she is going.
“Skye is only 9 years-old and does not have a mobile phone, and is not believed to have any money with her.
“She knows the area well and our officers have been checking areas where she would normally play, and speaking to her friends and family.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
