OAKLAND — A 12-year-old girl missing since last week was found unharmed Monday morning in Oakland, police said. 

Tajanik Thompson turned up at 6:15 a.m. Monday at an Albertson's store in the 4000 block of Macarthur Boulevard, said Sgt. J. Wong. Police plan to return Thompson to her family in Oakland. 

Police are investigating the girl's disappearance Wednesday after she allegedly told her family she planned to meet a 25-year-old man. 

Investigators have not confirmed earlier reports that the man Thompson was meeting was a pimp.
