TWO teenagers who had been missing from their homes for a week have returned.
Fears were growing after Kerry Hutchings, 13, and 16-year-old Michelle Gretch failed to return on the evening of January 23.
Kerry, pictured, lives at a children's home in Bournemouth Road, Chandler's Ford, and Michelle lives with her parents in Maple Leaf Gardens, Eastleigh.
Kerry returned last night and Michelle was back soon after, police today confirmed. Both were safe and well. A Hampshire police spokesman said it was believed the girls might have been staying in the St Mary's area of Southampton.
Nothing had been heard from either of the girls until the weekend, when Michelle rang her family to say they were both safe and well and would be home.
