Laval police say a missing Laval teen returned home last night and is safe and sound.

The 17-year-old girl had not been seen since Feb. 7. 

Her disappearance came at the height of concern around a series of runaways in Laval. She was the fifth girl connected to a Laval youth protection home to run away.

The situation prompted Quebec's government to announce new funding this week for a program aimed at preventing the sexual exploitation of teenage girls in Laval.
