A YOUNG Asian woman who has family and friends in Accrington is missing from her Luton home.

Married Nasreen Akhtar, 26, has not been seen for more than two weeks. Officers from Bedfordshire police are investigating.

Detective sergeant Steve Collin, of the family protection team said: "Nasreen has disappeared in the past but she normally notifies someone of where she is going.

"If she or a friend can contact us to say she is safe and well, the information will go no further than the police."

Nasreen is 5ft 4ins tall, with a slim build and shoulder length straight black hair. She has brown eyes but often wears distinctive blue-coloured contact lenses.
