Missing girl Julia Skala found ‘safe and well’

Julia Skala, a teenage girl from Mitcham, has been found safe and well after being missing for 11 days.

Ms Skala, 16, left her house on January 8 and was reported missing by her family the following morning.

Detective Chief Superintendent Clair Kelland, said: “For 11 days, we have worked around the clock to locate Julia.

“As time passed, our concern for her welfare grew, particularly in light of the extreme cold and her lack of resources. However, following extensive enquiries Julia was located today by officers in the west London area.

“I am pleased to be able to report that she is safe and well and will be reunited with her family.

“This is the outcome that we were all hoping for. I would like to thank the media and the social media community for their assistance with this appeal.”
