Two teenagers arrested after girl missing since Sunday found by police in Plymouth
Two teenagers have been arrested after a girl missing since Sunday was found by police in Plymouth.
Tamara Clark, aged 13 and known as Tammy, was discovered in the West Hoe area of the city shortly after noon today.
"She has been taken to Charles Cross police station for a debrief," Devon and Cornwall police said.
"Two men, aged 19 and 18, who were with her have been arrested on suspicion of abduction and are held in the custody centre at Charles Cross."
Tammy was reported by her family as missing on Sunday when she told friends she was going to Warner Village but did not return.
CCTV footage showed the teenager with "two lads" at the Barbican leisure centre on Sunday evening.
On Monday police said they had become "increasingly concerned" for her welfare.
"There is no reason for Tamara to go missing and no reason for her not to call her mum," said Detective Inspector Jim Colwell.
"Tamara is a young girl who is not equipped for life on the streets."
