An urgent search has been launched for a woman who vanished from Edinburgh three days ago. Ania Karus was last seen in the Pilton area of the capital at around noon on Friday, May 5.
The 36-year-old is known to frequent the city centre and officers believe she may have taken a train from Waverley Train Station. The force have urged anyone anyone with any information, or who may have seen Ania, to come forward as concerns grow for her welfare.
Ania is described as being around 5ft 2in tall, of a stocky build with long brown hair. She was last seen wearing a green body warmer, a yellow hooded top, black leggings and a multi-coloured rucksack.
Police Sergeant David South, Drylaw Police Station, Edinburgh, said: "We are growing increasingly concerned for Ania’s welfare. She frequents Edinburgh City Centre and tends to stay in the general area.
"However, it’s possible on this occasion that she may have taken a train from Waverley Train Station, but where [she travelled] to has still to be confirmed - if she has travelled.
"Colleagues at British Transport Police have been informed. We would appeal to anyone who knows where Ania may be or who may have any information that will help us trace her to get in touch.
“We’d also ask Ania herself to contact police to let us know she is safe and well.”
Information can be passed to police via 101. Please quote reference number 0087 of Friday, May 6, 2023.
