POLICE are appealing for information after receiving reports of a distressed woman in the Mornington Meadows area last weekend.

The woman was seen in the early hours of Saturday May 20, between 00.45am and 1.10am, specifically in the areas of Dol Fran and Pen-Y Cae.

She may have been in this area from about 10pm on Friday, May 19.

The woman is described as white, around 30 years old, with long straight brown hair.

She was wearing a black cardigan/top, pink mini skirt, black leggings and long black boots.

She was carrying a large black leatherette bag, the size of a holdall with a metal and leather shoulder strap.
