Police are appealing for help to find a missing 38-year-old woman from Southampton who may have travelled to London.

Samantha Granger was last seen at around 9am on Sunday 11 October at an address in Southampton.

CCTV footage has since captured Samantha at Southampton railway station at 11.37am that morning, providing officers with an image of the clothing she was last seen wearing.

Police believe Samantha may have visited the Embankment area of London since her disappearance, although she could now have returned to Southampton.

She also has connections to Winchester.

Samantha is described as being approximately 6ft tall, of large build, with distinctive blonde hair, short on one side of her head and shaved on the other.

Officers have released photographs of Samantha, including the CCTV image from Southampton railway station, in the hope that someone may recognise her or have information about her whereabouts.

Police are urging anyone who may have seen Samantha since Sunday morning, or who knows where she might be, to get in touch immediately.

Anyone with information is asked to call 999, quoting reference 44260500075.

The appeal remains ongoing as officers work to establish Samantha's whereabouts.
