A MISSING Telford student may have headed to Blackpool, police believe.

Ruth Connoly, 38, of Haybridge Road, Hadley, was last seen at Telford College of Arts and Technology at about 1.15pm on Monday, June 10.

A Lancashire Police spokesman said: "Ruth is at the college and she reported to a security guard that she did not feel well and was going to go home. She failed to return home and has not been seen since."

Ruth was last seen wearing a long-sleeved black, white and red T-shirt, dark coloured trousers, a short mid-blue jacket and white trainers. She was carrying a black Reebok rucksack.

Police believe she may have headed to either Blackpool or Birmingham after going missing.

They are urging anyone who may have seen Ruth or knows where she is to contact officers at Telford on 01952 290888.
