Police found Leah at a property in another county
Leah was reported missing in Sherston, near Malmesbury, after she was last seen at around 7.30pm on December 29.
It is thought she may have entered a dark station wagon near the Angel Café on the village’s main street.
Wiltshire Police have now reported that Leah was found late on Sunday night in another county.
In a statement, officers said: “We are pleased to say that the teenager who was reported missing from Sherston has been located.
“Leah Mullins was found by officers tonight on an out of county property and is now safe under police custody.
“A man in his 20s has been arrested on suspicion of child abduction.”
The news comes just hours after Leah’s mum made an emotional call to her daughter to tell her where she was.
Her mother, Sarah, made a new plea earlier on Sunday in a desperate bid to find her.
Sarah said, “Please come home, you’re not in trouble. We all miss you, your brothers and sisters miss you.”
“Just tell us where you are, please.”
Sarah said she just wanted to know if her daughter was okay.
She added: “She is a kind, caring, loving little girl who loves helping out with her siblings.
“Actually just a heart of gold.”
A group of around 30 locals gathered at 9am to begin a three-hour search for Leah this morning.
