Police are urging Dundee residents to check their sheds and outbuildings in the search for a missing vulnerable woman last seen in her pyjamas.
Sharon Hutchison was last seen on Provost Road in Dundee four days ago, in the early hours of Saturday, July 30. Five days on from her disappearance, officers say they are growing increasingly concerned for the 54-year-old's welfare.
Police have begun scanning local CCTV footage in a desperate bid to trace her.
Sharon is described as being 5ft 1in tall, of a slim build, with long hair and wears glasses. It is now believed she is wearing black leggings, a blue anorak coat, black shoes and is in possession of a black handbag.
Inspector Kris McCall said: “As time passes we are growing increasingly concerned for Sharon. We are carrying out extensive searches and reviewing CCTV in an effort to trace her. We have had a sighting of her in Provost Road on Saturday afternoon.
“Today we had have issued a second photograph of Sharon which may help people recognise her. I would ask residents in the Hilltown and Coldside areas of the city to check their sheds and outbuildings for any signs that she may have taken shelter there.
“I would urge anyone who has any information on Sharon’s whereabouts or who has had contact with her to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting 2428 of 30 July, 2022.”
On Monday, we shared Sharon's daughter's desperate plea to trace her mum, where she urged anybody with information on her whereabouts to come forward.
