CONCERNS are growing for a 33-year-old woman missing from home.

Caroline Michelle Wood, from Yarm, Teesside, was last heard from last Saturday, when she spoke to her partner on her mobile phone.

It is believed she is in the Scarborough or Filey areas of North Yorkshire.

Two bags of clothing were found on Thursday on a clifftop in Scarborough, and another containing wet clothing on the beach at Filey. Both contained personal items belonging to Ms Wood.

North Yorkshire Police have carried out an extensive search of the area.

Officers plan to widen the search to the Primrose Valley area close by.

Acting Inspector Mick Adams, of Stockton Police, said: "We do have concerns for this lady and are appealing for anyone who has any information to come forward."

The search in Scarborough has involved a helicopter, the coastguard and a lifeboat but has failed to unearth clues as to her whereabouts.

It is not thought she has returned to Stockton.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Stockton police on (01642) 302226.
