Missing teen found safe after more than a month

An Auckland teenager missing from her home for more than a month, has been found safe and well on the Kapiti Coast north of Wellington.

Sharn Joy Reid, 15, disappeared from her Beachhaven home on the North Shore on July 22. She was found on the Kapiti Coast yesterday.

The last reported sighting of her was in Auckland nearly a fortnight ago.

"She is in good spirits and we are satisfied she is safe," said police youth aid officer Constable Scott Norris.

The teenager also disappeared in May and was found by police in a Wellington bar.
