Herts Police are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of a missing woman.

A woman, from Hemel Hempstead, was last seen in the town yesterday morning (September 22) before an appeal on her whereabouts was released at around 11.30pm.

The force shared an image of her as part of the appeal.

Update (September 24): Herts Police confirmed that the woman has since been found safe

They asked anyone who has seen the 31-year-old since she was reported missing or has information about where she has been to get in touch.

Members of the public should call 999 “immediately” if they believe they are with her or have seen her in the last few moments, quoting ISR 273 of 22 September.

Information about where she has been can also be shared online at herts.police.uk/report or by calling 101.
