POLICE are desperate for information on a Grappenhall woman who has been missing from home for almost three weeks.

Gloria Hewitt-Dutton, aged 50, of Knutsford Road, was last seen on Sunday, November 12, at 5.45pm. Tuesday night's Crimewatch programme featured her disappearance, but no calls were received.

Gloria's husband and family are very concerned for her welfare as she requires regular medication, without which she can become confused. She is of slim build with collar-length, light brown hair and was wearing red and black checked trousers, with a dark blue jumper and brown ankle boots, a gold wedding ring and a man's Lorus watch with a green strap.

Police spokeswoman Jacqui Hanson said: "We still have people calling in saying they think they may have seen her. All these sightings have been checked out but we haven't had anything confirmed."

Anyone who sees a woman fitting Gloria's description is urged to contact police on 652222.
