Detective Inspector Billy Scott said: "It's now been almost four days since Cindy was last seen.

"Due to her age, we're growing increasingly concerned for her welfare and would urge anyone who may have information about where she is to come forward and speak to us.

"If anyone was in Southwater in Telford town centre on Wednesday evening and saw her we want to hear from them as they may be able to help us to piece together her movements.

"Likewise, if Cindy sees our appeal I would urge her to please get in contact, we just want to make sure she is safe and well."

West Mercia Police say this is not the first time she has gone missing and that she is known to travel large distances – with connections to Birmingham, Handley and Worcester.

Anyone with any information should call West Mercia on 101, quoting reference number 810s050918.
