NSW: Missing Sydney found after night on the streets

A 12-year-old Sydney girl who went missing in the city's south west yesterday has been
found healthy and well .. after spending the night wandering the streets.

MONICA LUONG ran away from her carer about 3.30 (AEST) this afternoon in Fairfield
West .. sparking a full-scale police search which lasted more than 10 hours.

But police say the girl wandered into a house at nearby Granville just before midnight
.. much to the surprise of the residents.

They contacted ambulance officers .. who took the missing girl to Granville police
station where she's been reunited with her parents.

Police say she'd spent the night just wandering around the area .. and hasn't been
harmed during her adventure.
