Police officers looking for a 69-year-old woman who has been missing for more than a week have released new CCTV images which show her getting off a bus in Ringwood, Hampshire.

Lynne, from Downton near Salisbury, was reported missing last week. Wiltshire Police detectives have been piecing together her movements by tracking CCTV footage and appealing to the public for information.

A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said, "The latest images show Lynne boarding the X3 bus on Blue Boar Row at 4.35 pm on Thursday, 21st March, and alighting from the bus at 5.32 pm at the Meeting House Lane bus stop in Ringwood.

"She is then seen walking north in the direction of the council offices.

"Detectives are urgently appealing for anyone who recognises Lynne or who may have dash cam or ring doorbell footage that may help locate her.

"Lynne was last seen wearing a navy coat, dark trousers and black ankle boots, and was carrying a distinctive light blue bag.

"Her family are extremely concerned for her welfare.

"Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to call Wiltshire Police on 101 quoting log 306 of March 22."
