Police searching for a missing 90-year-old Shrewsbury woman today appealed for help from the public.

Concern for missing 90-year-old Shrewsbury woman

Frieda Wolverson was reported missing yesterday but may have been missing from her home in Frankwell for several days.

Her red zimmer frame was found near the recycling bins in Frankwell car park yesterday afternoon.

Officers are concerned for her safety and today appealed for information about possible sightings.

Inspector Tom Harding said: "We are anxious to hear from anyone who has seen or spoken to Frieda since the beginning of the week.

"In particular, we are asking people to contact Shrewsbury police station on 101 if they possibly spotted her in the Frankwell area over the past few days.

"We also believe her red walking frame may have been moved by a member of the public to where it was located by the recycling bins. It's possible the frame was originally nearer the river. We would ask anyone who has seen the frame in that area, especially if they have moved it, to call us."

Frieda is described as 5ft 1in tall, with short straight grey hair. She often wears a hat, has bandages on both legs and may have been wearing a camel coloured coat.
