The search for a 16-year-old girl has ended after six days, township police said Saturday morning.

Angelina Failla, reported missing July 31, has been found, police said. 

No additional information was immediately available, but police said they would provide more details at a later time.

The search for a 16-year-old girl who had not been seen since July 31 continued into Saturday and the efforts to locate her had taken to social media websites.

The Facebook page Bring Angelina Failla home was established as a way to share information about her possible whereabouts as well as the circumstances surrounding her disappearance. As of Friday afternoon the page had 95 fans.

Angelina was reported missing from her home on Mariners Cove after an argument with her mother and stepfather. Despite not being old enough to drive, Angelina was believed to have left in a 2010 black Ford Fusion with a license plate NTY81Y. The car belongs to her stepfather and was running at the time of her departure according to police. As of Friday, the police did not have any leads on where she might have been heading to. 

As of Friday afternoon police Sgt. Eileen Dodd said there was no update as to Failla's location but that the search was continuing.

She is described as being 5-5, 140 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair with medium complexion. 

Dodd said Angelina has left home in the past, but unlike earlier instances she did not bring her cell phone to contact her mother. She also reportedly had no money, changes of clothing or shoes at the time she left.
