A second appeal has been issued to find a missing 48-year-old woman.

Grave concern has grown for Carol Ophelia, who was last seen at 9am on January 10, when she left her home in Morley Avenue, in Edmonton.

Her disappearance is ‘out of character’ and the family is desperate to hear news of her whereabouts.

She is a black woman who is 5ft 3ins tall, of stout build, with a short afro hairstyle.

PC Jeff Bannister of Enfield's missing person's unit said: "Carol has never been missing before and I would appeal for anyone who has any information on her whereabouts to contact the police or Missing People as soon as possible."
