POLICE are appealing for information after a woman has been reported missing.

Kimberley Sloan, 22, was last seen at her home address on Berkeley Street, Nelson at 5pm on 17 July.

She is described as white, fair skinned, well built, 5ft 7ins tall, with black hair.

Police are concerned as Kimberley has missed an important hospital appointment.

PC Jade Wolstenholme, of East police, said: “We are growing increasingly concerned about Kimberley as this is out of character for her. I would appeal to anyone who sees her or who knows where she might be to get in touch. I would also ask Kimberley herself to contact us if she sees this appeal.”

Kimberley has links to Preston and Wigan as well as Nelson.

Anyone with information should call police on 01282 472479 quoting log 1258 of July 17 or 999 for immediate sightings.
