Missing Barrow Teen Found Safe After Urgent Appeal Police Thank Public

A missing 14‑year‑old girl who sparked a police appeal after disappearing from Barrow‑in‑Furness has been found safe, Cumbria Police have confirmed.
The teenager, Tahlia Jardine, was reported missing last Saturday, prompting officers to ask for the public’s help in locating her. Concern for her welfare had grown while she was unaccounted for, with appeals shared widely by local residents and media.
Following the appeal, police have now confirmed that Tahlia has been located and is safe, bringing an end to what had been an anxious period for her family and the community. Authorities thanked members of the public for their assistance and cooperation during the search effort.
Missing person enquiries of this nature often depend on rapid public response to appeals, and Cumbria Police reiterated that “no sighting is too small” when residents are asked to assist with information. While details about how Tahlia was found have not been released, the police and her family have expressed gratitude for the positive outcome.
For anyone concerned about a loved one who is missing, Cumbria Police continue to remind the public to use the non‑emergency number 101 for information, and in emergencies to dial 999.
