Lindsay Wait was last seen in Graveley Road just before 10.45am today, and officers are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare.

She is described as white, of very slim build, 5ft 2in tall with short bleached blonde hair.

Lindsay is believed to be wearing a grey T-shirt with grey jogging bottoms, a hoody that is either grey or white with yellow spots and grey shoes or trainers.

Members of the public are asked not to make any approach to Lindsay and should instead call 101 immediately if they see her.
