Police are very concerned for the welfare of 52-year-old Fatima Mohamed-Ali who is missing from her home in Newhaven. She was last seen around 7.30am on Friday and is believed to have left her house in Park Drive Close on foot between this time and 3.15pm, leaving her handbag and other personal items behind.

This is completely out of character for Fatima who is Indian, 5' 2", of slim build with shoulder-length black hair worn in a ponytail. She is likely to be wearing traditional Indian dress.

Inspector Dan Eagle said: "Fatima's family is understandably very worried about her and we have launched a full search for her in the Newhaven area, supported by volunteers from Sussex Search and Rescue (SusSAR).

"If you have seen her at any time since Friday morning, please let us know immediately by calling 101 quoting serial 946 of 12/02. If you see her, please dial 999 immediately."
