She was described as white, 5ft 5in tall, of heavy build, with shoulder-length straight hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing black leggings and a black top.

Detective Inspector Lee Horner said: “While there is currently no evidence that Harriet has come to harm at this stage, we are naturally concerned because of her age and vulnerability.
