POLICE say they are concerned for a missing woman they believe could be in York.

Svitlana Krasnoselska, aged 40, who is known as Lana, was last seen at her home at about 5am on Monday, April 3.

Svitlana lives in Micklefield, Leeds, but is originally from the Ukraine, and West Yorkshire Police said that despite extensive enquiries, officers have been unable to establish her whereabouts.

Police said she may have contacts in the York area and officers were keen to hear from anyone there who has seen her.

Detective Inspector James Entwistle, of Leeds District CID, said: "It has been over two weeks now since anyone has seen Lana, and her family are still desperate to hear that she is okay.

"We are continuing to carry out extensive enquiries to trace her and hope that these images, taken before she went missing, will help to jog someone's memory."

Det Insp Entwistle: "We remain very concerned for her welfare and urgently need to find out where she is. We believe she may have some links to the York area and it is possible that people there may have seen her.

"We would ask that anyone who has seen her or who has any information that could assist in tracing her contact us as soon as possible."

Lana is described as 5ft 3ins tall, medium build, with dark shoulder-length hair which has blonde highlights in it (not as shown in the images). She was believed to be wearing a black coat with a fur hood and carrying a black handbag with a metal circle detail on it.
