Police are appealing for help to find a woman who has gone missing.

Karen Netto went missing yesterday (Wednesday) at about 11.30am from the Medard Road area of Wedmore.

She is described as a white woman, 5ft 2ins of large build with brown frizzy hair which is grey at the roots and worn in a short bob cut style.

The 57-year-old missed a doctor's appointment yesterday and is not thought to have her phone or money with her.

Karen requires medication following an operation she had recently. She may appear depressed or withdrawn.

A police spokesman said: "Concern is growing for Karen, especially as she does not appear to be dressed for the poor weather we are experiencing.

"We would urge people living in Wedmore and surrounding areas to check their shed, garages and garden outbuildings just in case she has sought shelter.

"We would like Karen or anyone spotting her to contact us, quoting reference 5220011568."
