A missing woman from Worcestershire has been spotted in Oxford and Didcot.

Concern is growing for the safety of Miriam Cross, 23, of The Old Rectory, Hinton-on-the-Green, near Evesham, who was last seen at Evesham Community Hospital on Tuesday.

A spokesman for West Mercia Police said: “Miss Cross is believed to be using public transport and was last seen in the Oxford/Didcot area after also being identified using the train in Reading.”

She is described as white, 5ft 8ins tall, with straight, shoulder-length brown hair, hazel eyes and a pale complexion.

When last seen in Evesham she was wearing light-coloured jeans, a green-blue hooded jumper and trainers and was carrying a blue and beige canvas shoulder-bag.
