A body has been found in the search for missing teenager Seesha Dack, Northumbria Police have said.

The 15-year-old was last seen with friends at the Fish Quay in North Shields at around 7pm on Sunday.

While her friends all returned home, Seesha did not.

Police said they found a body, believed to be the missing teenager, near Tanners Bank in North Shields on Tuesday evening.

"Specialist officers are currently supporting Seesha's family during this incredibly difficult time and our thoughts are with them.

"I want to thank everyone who helped in our search by sharing our appeals, searching the area and those who have phoned us with possible sightings.

"We will continue to carry out enquiries to establish the circumstances around the death but at this stage we do not believe there to be any third party involvement."
