Police are looking for a missing woman who was last seen in Bournemouth on Saturday.

Katarzyna Zych, aged 37, was seen in the town centre on Saturday December 8 and reported missing around 8.45pm on Sunday.

She is a Polish national of no fixed abode and has links to Croydon in London.

Katarzyna is described as white, five feet two inches tall and of heavy build with brown curly hair that is shaved on the left hand side and longer on the right hand side. She has tattoos on her left hand, neck and left leg and was last seen wearing jeans and Converse trainers.

Detective Inspector Andy Bell, of Dorset Police, said: “We are becoming increasingly concerned due to the length of time since the last confirmed sighting of Katarzyna. It is completely out of character for her to go missing in this way and we want to make sure she is alright.

“We have been carrying out various enquiries to locate her, including searches in the Bournemouth area and liaising with colleagues in the Metropolitan Police to carry out checks of locations she has links to in London.

“I am appealing to anyone who has any information as to Katarzyna’s whereabouts, or who sees a woman matching her description, to contact us immediately.

“I would also urge Katarzyna if you see this appeal to contact us as we want to ensure you are safe and well.”

Contact Dorset Police on 101, quoting incident number 16:392.
