Concern growing for missing vulnerable woman
Concern is growing for the welfare of a vulnerable woman who has not been seen since she left her Oldswinford home, claiming she was going for a walk.
Claire Brown left her home in Portland Drive at around 3.30pm today, saying she was going for a walk in the Clent Hills.
However, the 61-year-old has not yet returned and her family have not heard from her since.
She is described as white, 5ft 2ins tall with shoulder-length blonde hair and walks with a stoop.
Inspector Jaswant Singh said: "We have officers out looking for Claire, but we could really do with speaking to anyone who has been walking on the hills in the last few hours and may have seen a woman matching her description.
"Claire's family are extremely worried about her as she is thought to be very vulnerable at the moment.
"In addition to that, Claire is on foot and with the night now upon us, we need to make sure she is somewhere safe and warm.
"I would urge anyone who may have seen her to call us immediately on 101, or the charity Missing People on 116 000."
