Hampshire Police have asked Andover people to be on the look-out for a missing Test Valley woman.

69 year old Christine Watson from North Baddesley hasn't been seen for over 24 hours.

She was spotted leaving home at 10.30 yesterday morning in what police have described as ‘an agitated state' and did not take her handbag or mobile phone.

Christine is described as:

• White
• 69 years old, but looks younger
• Short dyed red hair
• 5ft tall
• Medium build
• Thought to be wearing trousers and wellies (the short ankle boot version)

Inspector Justin Norris said, "We have been carrying out numerous enquiries and as yet have not been able to locate Christine Watson. We are getting very concerned for her welfare and are appealing for people's help in trying to find her. The photograph we have was taken just over a year ago and may help people recognise her.

"Did you see her yesterday or overnight? Do you know where she is? If you can help us find her please contact the police immediately. We need to make contact as soon as possible to ensure she is safe and well."

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the police on 999 or 101.
