A search for a missing Midlands girl is over.
At 2:44 p.m., the Chapin Police Department said that a girl named Lyiah was located and is safe.
Information about where the 10-year-old was found was not available.
Before she was found, Lyiah was last seen leaving her Lexington County home at about 11 a.m. Monday, according to police. Lyiah left her Chapin home in pursuit of three dogs that had gotten out of the house, police said in a news release.
There was no word if Lyiah had gotten lost, or if she was considered a runaway.
