A West Midlands woman has been missing since Tuesday after failing to arrive for work at a post office.

Christine Fletcher, 57, from Austrey Road, Kingswinford, was last seen by her husband at about 0745 BST.

Her car has been found abandoned near a car park at the Nimmings Road visitors' centre on the Clent Hills.

West Midlands Police said Mrs Fletcher has not been missing before and the force was becoming "increasingly concerned" for her welfare.

'Significant resources'

Mrs Fletcher has been described as about 5ft 2ins tall, of medium build with short, grey, wavy hair and blue eyes.

She was last seen wearing blue jeans, a T-shirt and plain shoes.

There has been one unconfirmed sighting of a woman of a similar description on the day Mrs Fletcher went missing.

This woman was seen at about 0915 BST walking from the Hagley Hill farm barns on the main Hagley Road which runs from Halesowen to Stourbridge.

Mrs Fletcher's disappearance is "completely out of character", police have said.

Insp Jason Anderson, from Halesowen police station, said: "Despite significant resources being put in place to find her, we are yet to find Christine.

"As we have found her car in the Clent Hills, we would ask all visitors to the area who may see someone matching Christine's description to get in touch."

Anyone with information has been asked to contact Halesowen police or Crimestoppers.
