A MAJOR search has been called off after a missing child was found safe and well.
Police in Northallerton deployed 'large numbers' of officers to search for three-year-old Willow Watkinson, and search and rescue teams as well as the police helicopter were tasked to help find her.
She was last seen when she was put to bed yesterday evening in Swain Court, Northallerton.
Just minutes after putting out a public appeal, North Yorkshire Police said: "Great news: the missing three-year-old girl from Northallerton has been found safe and well at a relative's house.
"Thanks to the thousands of you who shared our appeal to find her."
