UPDATE: Two teens reported missing from the Lake Macquarie area have been located safe and well.

Officers attached to Lake Macquarie Police District commenced inquiries into the whereabouts of the teenagers, both aged 14, after they were reported missing last week.

Following extensive inquiries, the 14-year-old missing from Charlestown was located in Berowra on Saturday and the second teenager, missing from Whitebridge, was located in Belmont on Sunday morning.

The two incidents were not related.

Police wish to thank members of the public and the media.
