POLICE say they are growing increasingly concerned about the welfare of a missing Blackburn woman.

Michelle Gleave, 36, was last seen by her partner at the Royal Blackburn Hospital on Monday and there have been no sightings of her since then.

She is described as having a medium build, with shoulder length, dark brown hair in a ponytail.

She was last seen wearing a red and white jacket, blue jeans and white trainers.

Detective Chief Inspector Andrea Barrow said: "We are growing increasingly concerned about Michelle's welfare as it's now several days since she has been seen and she hasn't made contact with anyone during that time.

"I would appeal for anyone who may have seen her or knows where she might be to get in touch with police."” Anyone with information should call 08451 253545.
