Inspector Roger Lamboll, based at Didcot police station, said: “We are extremely concerned for Penny’s welfare and are appealing to anybody who knows of her whereabouts to please contact police.

“She is not believed to have any access to money and this is out of character for Penny, and she has not been in touch with her family.

“I am also appealing directly to Penny, if you see this, please get in touch with us.

“You are not in any trouble at all, but your family are naturally very worried.

“Anybody who believes that they have seen Penny or knows where she is should call 101, quoting reference 43200115591.

“In an emergency, you can also call 999.”
