Three schoolgirls have been praised by police for helping an elderly lady who appeared lost and confused in Northumberland.
Georgia Pyle, 14, Isabella Blench, 11, and Megan Mole, 14, said they began to become concerned about a lady, who is believed to have dementia, when they were stopped by her and asked if they wanted to see a dog. The lady proceeded to pull a teddy from her bag which she placed on the floor and began patting her bag asking it to come to her.
The girls, who were on their way back from the Bank Top Park, in Bedlington, when they noticed the lady started to realise that there was something not quite right so they started talking to her and trying to get her away from the road. While Megan stayed with her, Isabella and Georgia visited a local care home to ask for help.
