AN appeal has been launched by police to find a missing 18-year-old woman.

Officers said Faye Adams was last seen at around 5pm on Thursday in the Broken Banks area of Colne and nobody has heard from her since.

She is described as white, of slim build and approximately 5' 7" tall with long light brown hair.

She was last seen wearing a black jacket, black jeans and mustard colour Timberland boots.

A police spokesman said: "We are becoming increasingly concerned for the welfare of an 18 year old woman who has gone missing from Colne.

"She hasn't made any contact with her family since and her disappearance is out of character.

"Anybody who has seen her or knows where she may be is asked to contact us as a matter of urgency."

Anybody with information is asked to contact Lancashire Police on 101 quoting log number 908 of 29th April.
