Search your ‘barns, outhouses and buildings’ for missing Cowbridge woman
POLICE are asking the public to search barns, outhouses and other buildings as concerns mount over the whereabouts and wellbeing of an elderly woman from Cowbridge.
Anne Jones (85), known locally as Nancy or Nance has been missing since Friday (21 July) and is described as being around five feet tall with short, grey, curly hair and wearing spectacles. She usually wears trousers.
South Wales Police have issued two images of Anne hoping they may prompt awareness.
Over the weekend, teams from mountain rescue, police and helicopters have been combing the area searching for Anne Jones. There are also reports on social media of members of public on the lookout for Mrs Jones or simply spreading the word about the vulnerable pensioner.
Police have released details of CCTV footage capturing Mrs Jones during the early hours of Saturday morning.
South Wales Police Detective Inspector Phillip Marchant said: “Anne has been sighted on CCTV in the early hours of Saturday, 22 July morning walking past Cowbridge Comprehensive School towards Ystradowen.
“There has also been another sighting a very short time later of who we believe to be Anne between Aberthin and Ystradowen prior to the villages of Prisk and Maendy.
“We thank the local community for their continued support in the search, but could we please ask residents, landowners and farmers of Prisk, Maendy, Trerhyngyll to check their land, barns, outhouses and other buildings for any sign of Anne.”
Anyone with information or has seen Anne Jones recently or knows of her whereabouts should contact South Wales Police quoting reference 2300243986.
