Police are posting leaflets to addresses around Shoebury as part of the ongoing missing person investigation into the whereabouts of Southend mother Patricia Finnie.

Patricia, 64, has been missing from her home in Southend since May last year.

Officers and her family are concerned for her welfare.

Patricia is described as white, 5ft 6ins tall, of medium build, with straight auburn-coloured hair. She also sometimes wears glasses.

The last time she was seen she was wearing a full-length quilted black coat with a hood, a pink top, navy trousers and black shoes.

She also has links to Scotland.

Police are re-appealing for information after recently receiving advice which indicates she may have been in this area shortly after she went missing.

Anyone with information should contact police on 101.
