Concerns for missing 96-year-old woman

Police in Brighton are very concerned about the welfare of a 96-year-old woman who has not been seen since Monday morning, 23 April.

Nellie Herriott, who lives in Brighton, was last seen at 11am at a bus stop on Race Hill (Elm Grove), in Brighton.

Nellie is described as white, of thin build, 4ft 9in tall, with short curly hair. She was wearing a blue coat and black hat. She regularly uses buses in Brighton and Hove, and is known to travel to other towns, including Eastbourne and Worthing.

Inspector Jon Carter said: "Nellie is vulnerable due to her age and she also suffers from Alzheimers which can cause her to become confused. It's now been three days since she was last seen and we're very anxious to hear from anyone who thinks they may know where she is.

"Nellie has been a frequent visitor to the BHS Café in Churchill Square, Brighton. She may have frequented other cafes and may make several visits in a short period of time.

"If anyone thinks they have seen Nellie then I would urge them to call police as soon as possible on 101, quoting reference number 1448 of 25 April."
