Leicestershire Police have appealed for help locating Charlie Ryan, a 31-year-old woman who is heavily pregnant and was reported missing on Friday morning. The force said Ryan was last seen in the Groby Road area of Leicester, near the New Parks Way roundabout. Police said they were extremely concerned for her welfare and that active inquiries were continuing.

According to the appeal, inquiries carried out so far indicated that Ryan may be in the Northfields area of Leicester. Police have asked anyone who has seen her or knows where she may be to contact them. The force described Ryan as white, 165cm, or 5ft 5in, with bright blonde hair.

She was last seen wearing a black jacket, a grey jumper, black leggings and black shoes. No further information about the circumstances of her disappearance was provided in the supplied report. The appeal is focused on locating her and checking on her welfare.

Police asked members of the public who may have relevant information to pass it to officers. The report did not provide a police incident number or specify the channels for contacting Leicestershire Police. The appeal comes as officers continue inquiries in the Leicester area.

Anyone who may have seen Ryan since her reported disappearance is being asked to share that information with the force.
