Fears for missing woman

A missing woman from Shrewsbury could be in Herefordshire according to police who have launched an extensive search for her whereabouts.

Jane Hicking, 45, was last seen in Shrewsbury area yesterday afternoon (Tuesday) but police say she could have travelled to Herefordshire since then.

Sergeant Clare Greenaway, of Shrewsbury Police, said: “She has connections in the Craven Arms area and also in Herefordshire and South Wales, so it is possible she might have or be attempting to travel down there. 

“She was wearing only blue jeans and a blue jumper with a zip at the collar,” said Sgt Greenaway.

“Temperatures were very low last night and we are growing increasingly concerned for Jane’s wellbeing.”

She is described as white, about 5ft 6in in height and of medium build. 

She has medium-length, curly, auburn hair and blue eyes.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Shrewsbury Police on 0300 333 3000.
