Can You Help Find Missing 'Vulnerable' Lucy?

Police are concerned for welfare of a Rugby woman, who has been missing from home for four days.

Lucy Jane Whistance, aged 28, who has never gone missing before is described as ‘extremely vulnerable.’

She was last seen on Friday when she left the home she shares with her parents in Abbey Street, saying she was going to a nearby shop to buy sweets.

Lucy suffers from dementia and walks with the help of an aluminium cane. She is forgetful and gets confused. Police believe her naivety may have led her into the wrong company.

Insp Mike Slater of Rugby Police said:

“We are extremely concerned for Lucy’s welfare and need the public’s urgent help in finding her.

“Her parents are also very worried given the state of her health and I would urge anyone who thinks they may have seen her to contact us immediately.”

She was last seen wearing a distinctive African tie-dye trouser suit which was purple, yellow and white in colour and black slip-on shoes.

Lucy was also wearing a two-inch beaded African bracelet and a small nose stud in her right nostril.

She only had £1, no coat and none of her medication that she needs daily.

Lucy has previously lived in the Hockley and West Bromwich areas of Birmingham, as well as Bilton in Rugby.

Anyone with information on Lucy’s whereabouts should call Rugby police on 01788 541111.
