Police are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of a woman with links to Watford who went missing last week.

Frances Bush, 46, was last seen in the Coreys Mill area of Stevenage at around 10am on Thursday, May 20.

She is described as being white, 5ft 9ins tall, with dyed blonde shoulder length hair.

Frances was last seen wearing a navy coat with an orange top underneath, black trousers and blue shoes.

Hertfordshire Constabulary says she also wears black framed glasses and speaks with a German accent.

Frances also has links to Harpenden, Hitchin, Watford, St Albans and Luton in Bedfordshire.

Police believe she could be sleeping rough.

Anyone who has seen Frances since she was reported missing or has information about where she has been, call Hertfordshire Constabulary’s non-emergency number 101.

Anyone who believes they are with Frances now or have seen her in the last few moments, call 999 immediately.
