A missing Warwickshire woman who friends believed could be in Dorset has been found safe and well.

Dawn Stretton, 39, went missing from her home in Seabrook Avenue, Rugby, on Tuesday.

Her family and friends were growing “increasingly concerned for her welfare” and contacted the Echo as they believed she may be in the area as she likes Weymouth.

Warwickshire Police launched an appeal for help in tracing Dawn.

Officers said that Dawn was found safe and well yesterday morning in Coventry.

A spokesman for Warwickshire Police said: "Police were called at 8.45am yesterday morning after a member of public spotted a missing 39-year-old woman from Rugby.

"She was found safe in the Brandon area of Coventry and we would like to thank everyone for their help in sharing our appeal."
