“Carole lives in the Culcheth area and is believed to be on foot; however, she does have access to a bus pass and so may be travelling via bus. Anyone who thinks that they may have seen her or has any information in relation to her whereabouts is urged to get in touch.

"I would also ask residents living in the area to check any sheds or outbuildings in case Carole has taken shelter due to the poor weather conditions." Anyone with information or footage that may help officers find Carole is asked to call Cheshire Constabulary immediately on 101, quoting IML 192420.
