A woman has gone missing from her home overnight, prompting police to launch an appeal for information.
Karen Stevenson left her home in Lairds Hill, Seafar, Cumbernauld, between midnight and 8.30am on Saturday February 19 and has not been in touch since.
The 42-year-old is described as 5ft 1ins, of slim build, with long brown hair.
Karen is believed to be wearing a purple parker-style jacket with a black fur-lined hood, a cream long sleeve t-shirt, black leggings, and black ankle boots.
She may also be carrying a small pink handbag decorated with metal studs and with a chain strap.
Cops say they are becoming 'increasingly concerned' for Karen's wellbeing and have dubbed her disappearance 'completely out of character'.
They are urging anyone with any information on her whereabouts to come forward.
Sergeant Greig McKail said: “We are becoming increasingly concerned for Karen’s welfare as this is completely out of character.
"If anyone has seen her or knows where she might be, please call us.
“Likewise, if Karen sees or hears about this appeal I would ask her to get in touch so we know she is safe and well.”
