Major search underway for woman who went walking with her dog in Eryri and has not been seen since

A search is underway for a 56-year-old woman missing with her dog in Eryri, (formerly known as Snowdonia). North Wales Police have said there are concerns for Ausra Plungiene, who went walking with her dog in the national park yesterday (Tuesday, April 11).

This morning, the coastguard rescue helicopter was above Eryri, sweeping the area. Police have also urged people to contact the force if they have any information. Photos show that her dog is large and black.

A Coastguard rescue helicopter has been seen circling the northern area above Eryri, although it has not yet been confirmed if this is connected to the search.

Reports on North Wales police Facebook page suggest that Ausra was parked in the Rowen area, potentially towards Drum or Aber. A spokesperson for North Wales Police said: "Concerns for Ausra Plungiene, 56 yrs, who went walking with her dog in Snowdonia, 11th April and is now missing. Any sightings/information please ring NWP on 101 quoting incident no A052734."

Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting reference A052734.
