Police believed they were somewhere in Brighton and at one point nearly 30 police officers were searching specific addresses.

In addition, a team of Neighbourhood Watch volunteers from West Downs Division, supported by police officers, went to Brighton with fliers to appeal to the public and as a result spoke to a number of witnesses.

CI Russ Whitfield said: "We are extremely pleased that the children are safe and well. I am very grateful to all members of the public, the media, volunteers, and officers who worked exceptionally long hours in order to ensure the safety of these vulnerable young people."
