Officers are trawling through over 1,500 hours of security camera recordings from the area where the woman was last seen at approximately 3pm on Tuesday. The Metropolitan Police have released still images from the footage showing the missing individual wearing distinctive clothing.
Race Against Time
Detectives describe the investigation as "time-critical" and are appealing to the public for any information about the woman's whereabouts. Specialist search teams have been deployed across central London as concern grows for her welfare.
Disturbing Details
The CCTV footage shows the woman behaving erratically before her disappearance, according to police sources. Authorities have not ruled out foul play but are treating this as a missing persons case for now.
Local residents report seeing increased police activity in the Westminster area throughout Wednesday, with officers conducting door-to-door enquiries and examining nearby businesses' security systems.
