The search for missing 14-year-old Wellington girl Violet Cowan is over.
Sergeant Matt Wheble said Violet, who was believed to be wearing only pyjamas, was found safe and well just before 6pm.
Violet went missing from the suburb of Wadestown and police and Search and Rescue spent the afternoon looking for her.
She had last been seen wearing pyjamas.
People who lived in the wider Wadestown area were asked by police around midday to check their properties, including any spaces a person may be able to crawl into.
