A 49-year-old woman – who has been missing from her home since January 22 – is currently being looked for by police.

Louise Fellows was last seen by her mother at her home in Race Course Lane, Norton, last Friday at around 11am.

Concerns are growing for her safety and police are now appealing to the public to help find her whereabouts.

Louise is described as white, 5ft 5ins tall, slim build with short blonde hair. It is not known what she was wearing when she went missing.

She is thought to regularly visit friends in Birmingham city centre and is known to many as ‘Angel’.

DC Gareth Homer, from Dudley Police, said: “I would ask Louise to get in touch with us as a matter of urgency to let us know that she is safe and well.”

Anyone who has seen Louise is asked to contact police on 101.
