POLICE say they are becoming increasingly concerned for the safety of a Harrogate woman missing from home.

Maria Pearson, 43, who has a history of depression, has not been seen by her family since she left her house in Bilton's Woodfield View at about 9pm on Tuesday.

She was wearing black trousers, a green T-shirt and a black fleece.

About 5ft, she has blue eyes and collar-length, blonde hair.

She also has a tattoo of a red devil on her right ankle.

Anyone who thinks they may have seen her is asked to contact the Harrogate police witness line on (01423) 539334.
