An Auckland schoolgirl who vanished from her bed overnight has been found, police say. 

Fourteen-year-old Vera-Lee Rosandich was last seen by her mother Annika Rosandich when she said goodnight to her daughter at 9.15pm on Thursday. 

When Rosandich woke at 6.30am yesterday she discovered Vera-Lee鈥檚 bed in their home in Oratia hadn鈥檛 been slept in and she was nowhere to be found - something she said was out of character for her 鈥渧ery naive, trusting鈥 daughter. 

鈥淚 just want her to come home. She鈥檚 not in trouble. Come home.鈥
