CCTV footage has been released of a woman who went missing three weeks ago as authorities intensify the search for her.
Alexandra Harrod, aged 47, disappeared from Seaton, Cumbria on August 30. Her last sightings were reported in Workington and Whitehaven a few days later.
The police have made public the CCTV video of Alexandra at a Costa Coffee in Whitehaven on September 2, around 11:20 am. The footage shows her inside the café on King Street, dressed in a dark padded coat and tracksuit trousers.
Described as a white woman with short dark hair, Alexandra was last seen wearing dark tracksuit pants, a dark padded jacket, and carrying a dark rucksack. Authorities are urging any relatives or friends who have not yet come forward to get in touch. Anyone with information on Alexandra’s whereabouts is urged to contact the police at 101.
Known as ‘Alex,’ Alexandra has connections to various locations in the UK including Leeds, Wiltshire, Durham, Dorset, and Devon.
Meanwhile, efforts continue to locate a woman missing after a house fire in a coastal village. The incident occurred in Gardenstown, Aberdeenshire, with the woman reportedly inside the property when the fire started early on Thursday.
Emergency services responded to the scene in Seatown following the alarm raised just before 5 am. One man was transported to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for treatment.
A joint investigation involving the police and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is ongoing, with emergency services maintaining a presence at the location.
