The family of a vulnerable woman missing for more than 24 hours have put out an urgent appeal for help to find her.

Dee Hawkins has not been heard from since around 10.30am on Tuesday. According to her sister-in-law Lesley, she was last seen in Grantham at 12pm on a bus to Bottesford. From Bottesford, at 2.40pm she got a taxi and was dropped off at Asda Petrol Station in Newark but that was the last known sighting.

She is 4ft11in tall, wearing either a yellow coat or a cream fur jacket with a butterfly backpack and carrying shopping bags. Dee's family have described her as 'extremely vulnerable'.

Lincolnshire Police have been informed and anyone with any further information regarding Dee's whereabouts is asked to contact them via the non-emergency number 101.
