FOLLOWING a three-day search a 20-year-old woman from Yate who was last seen on Tuesday has been found safe and well.

Erin Gowing-Wood left her home in Shire Way for college in Bristol city centre on Tuesday morning (September 19) but was not seen by any of her family until she was found this evening (September 22).

Her worried parents launched an urgent search describing it as "out of character" for them not to have heard from her for such a long period of time.

Erin's mum has confirmed to the Gazette that she is now safe and well at home.
