A body has been found at a scrapyard in the search for missing teenager Libbi Toledo.

The 17-year-old walked out of an assisted living facility in Kirkcaldy on Monday, September 11.

Officers discovered the body of a female within a disused scrapyard at the junction of Denburn Road and Smeaton Road in the town at around 2.20pm on Thursday.

Formal identification is yet to take place.

Several sightings of Libbi were reported following her disappearance and police issued a number of public appeals in a bid to trace her.

A press conference about the missing teenager was cancelled minutes before it was due to start on Thursday after the body was discovered.

Libbi, who has autism, ADHD and has attempted suicide in the past, has been in care for several years.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said: "The death is currently being treated as unexplained pending further enquiries and report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal."
