ARAYA SANDIFORD, who was reported missing, has been traced.
Police say the 13-year-old of Rockhampton Road, Grazettes, St Michael has been located and is safe.
Her mother Marsha Sandiford made a public appeal on Monday for her daughter to return home or be released if she was being held against her will.
Police subsequently said they did not believe Araya had been kidnapped, as she was spotted several times since leaving home earlier this month.
They also urged the public to contact them if she was spotted again.
Araya, a student of Frederick Smith Secondary School, had been missing since April 14. (PR/SAT)
