Concerns are growing for a woman who was last seen walking out of Lister Hospital in Stevenage during the early hours of this morning.

Anne Mountford was last seen walking out of the hospital in Coreys Mills Lane towards Hitchin Road at 4.50am.

The 45-year-old is described as white, of medium build and with short bob-style dark greyish hair. She was wearing a navy white and blue jacket, grey trousers and trainers.

She is also believed to be carrying a black sports bag.

Police think Anne may be in Stevenage but she has links to Cheshunt and Watford and could be travelling to either of these locations.

Anyone with information should call Herts police on 101.
