Fears are growing for a woman who has been missing since last week.

Amy Mason, of Chelmsford, has not been heard from since speaking to her family on the phone on Sunday.

The 27-year-old was last seen by a family member last Wednesday.

Essex Police believe she was in the area of Chelmsford train station at noon on Sunday but her movements since then are unknown.

She is 5ft 5ins tall and of slim build, with straight brown shoulder length hair.

She often wears a trilby hat and has a tattoo of a frog on her left hand and has links with East London, Witham, Southend and Cornwall.

An Essex Police spokesman said: “Police are keen to hear from Amy so she can reassure them that she is okay or from anyone who may know where she is.”

Witnesses or people with information relating to this incident are urged to call Essex Police on 101.
