POLICE appealed last night for help in tracing a 53-year-old woman who was last seen almost a week ago.

Linda Crowe, of Lowestoft, was reported missing yesterday afternoon, but was last seen on Wednesday.

Police said there were concerns for her safety and officers are asking her, or anyone who may have seen or who may have information about where she is now, to get in touch as soon as possible.

They said it appeared Mrs Crowe left her home without taking her phone, keys or any other clothing or personal possessions with her, and she only had a relatively small amount of money.

She has been missing before and was then found walking on the A143 at Ixworth.

Mrs Crowe is described as about 5ft 5ins tall, of slim build and with blonde, bobbed hair. At the time she went missing it is thought she was wearing dark clothing and was carrying a rucksack-style bag.

Anyone who may have seen her since Wednesday or anyone with information about where she is now should call Lowestoft police on 01986 835300.
