?Three girls, 11 and 12 years old, who went miss­ing af­ter school on Wednes­day, were found wan­der­ing at a hous­ing scheme near their St Mar­garet's school on Thurs­day morn­ing. Po­lice said the three chil­dren made a pact to run away and slept in the bush­es. They heaped up stones to pro­tect them­selves in the event that they were at­tacked, po­lice said. The stu­dents, of St Mar­garet's Gov­ern­ment School, re­port­ed­ly left their homes on Wednes­day with a change of clothes in their school bags. When their par­ents came to pick them up af­ter school they could not be found. The par­ents made a re­port to the St Mar­garet's Po­lice Sta­tion which is next to the school. A po­lice par­ty spear­head­ed by ACP King and ASP Ce­cil San­tana spent the night search­ing for the chil­dren. Their rel­a­tives al­so con­duct­ed their own search par­ty. The girls were found around 8 am.
