POLICE are appealing for help in tracing a missing 86-year-old woman.
Eileen Mandeville left her home in Bexleyheath at 5.55am this morning (April 21).
She is described as white, 5ft tall and of slim build. She was last seen wearing a thick grey fleece, black trousers and grey/purple slippers. She may also be wearing grey framed glasses.
Police say Mrs Mandeville suffers from dementia and a heart condition.
She has previously gone missing on two occasions and was found in Woolwich and Plumstead. She is particularly drawn to the Walworth area where she lived when she was younger.
Officers do not believe she has access to any money or a travelcard.
PC Anjou Fuller, from Bexley police, said: “We are very concerned for Eileen's health and wellbeing and would appeal for anyone who has seen her to please contact police."
Mrs Mandeville’s daughter Sharon Lockey said: “We are desperately concerned about my mother's whereabouts and we just want her home safe and well.”
Anyone who may have seen Mrs Mandeville should call Bexley police on 0300 123 1212.
