North Wales Police have expressed growing concern for the safety of 39-year-old Lucy Charles, who has been missing for two weeks from the Bangor-on-Dee area in Wrexham. Ms Charles was last seen on December 22, and her items were discovered on the bank of the River Dee, near the Severn Trent Water Treatment Works.
Lucy Charles is described as approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall, with shoulder-length brown hair and glasses. On the day she went missing, CCTV footage captured her walking past the Royal Oak pub on Station Road at 5:34 pm. She was wearing a navy padded coat, a hi-vis vest, khaki leggings, and black boots.
Chief Inspector Stephen Roberts acknowledged the challenging circumstances surrounding Lucy’s disappearance, particularly during the festive season, and expressed gratitude to those who have participated in the extensive search efforts despite difficult weather and water conditions.
The police are appealing to anyone who was in the Bangor-on-Dee area during the relevant period and may have seen Ms Charles to come forward with information. They also issued a warning against approaching the River Dee, as it is currently in a “very dangerous state of flooding.”
Chief Inspector Roberts stated, “Our searches continue and Lucy’s family are being kept informed,” and added, “Finally, my thoughts remain with Lucy’s family at this difficult time.
North Wales Police are urging individuals with information relevant to the investigation to contact them promptly as they work to locate Lucy Charles and ensure her safety.
