Police have confirmed that a woman reported missing earlier today has now been located.

In a tweet, Hampshire Constabulary said: "Thank you for your help in sharing our appeal to find missing Bernadette, she has now been located."

Earlier this afternoon, police were 'extremely concerned' for the welfare of the woman after it was reported that she was last seen leaving her home this morning. 

Bernadette Greer left her home in the village of Grateley, around seven miles outside of Andover, at 11:30pm yesterday (January 25) and had not been in contact with her family since.

Police launched an appeal, with the 51-year-old believed to be in the area of Andover or Winchester.
