In the initial appeal, Sergeant Sharon Crawford said: “We are becoming increasingly concerned for Ann's welfare and are keen to trace her as soon as possible.
“We are particularly appealing for residents in the local area to check any outbuildings or sheds in case Ann has sought shelter there.
"Please also check any private CCTV or dashcam footage which may help us in tracing Ann."
The public were thanked for their assistance.
