A woman who raised concerns after she went missing from her Colchester home has been found.
Officers were contacted shortly after 3.35am this morning after Alison Tokley, 51, disappeared from her home in Berechurch Hall Road.
Her disappearance was out of character and she was not thought to be dressed well enough to keep warm.
Alison has now been found and taken to hospital to be treated for suspected hypothermia.
The public has been thanked for its help with the search.
