Police are appealing for information about a woman with links to Yaxley who went missing from hospital in the early hours of Sunday.

The woman, who police believe is named Samantha Greene and is 31-years-old, admitted herself to Peterborough City Hospital but left at about 3.40am.

A spokesman for Cambridgeshire police said: “It is possible that she has links to Yaxley and also the Manchester area. She was last seen wearing a long black Puffa-style jacket and has long brown hair, glasses.

“Anyone who thinks they may have seen her or knows where she is should contact police immediately.

“We would also appeal directly to the woman to get in touch and let us know she is safe.”
