Police have released CCTV footage of a woman taken on the day she went missing four weeks ago.

Taiwo Balogun, 53, from Crayford, was last seen on Thursday, December 1.

Officers investigating her disappearance have confirmed she was in a shop in Crayford Road, Dartford, close to the junction with London Road at around 2.27pm.

They hope the footage from the shop will jog the memory of anyone who was in the area at the time, either on foot or driving.

Although there is no information suggesting she has come to harm at the hands of anyone else, Taiwo is considered vulnerable and there is reason to believe she may be a risk to herself.

Concerns have increased for the welfare of the mum.

She is 5ft 9ins and was last seen wearing a black jacket with vertical stripes down the arms, dark trousers and black and white trainers, and carrying an orange carrier bag.

Her family and officers are encouraging anyone who may have been driving in the area to think back or check any dashcam footage, as well as asking businesses to check CCTV to see if Taiwo entered their premises or walked by.

They are urging Taiwo to get in touch and let someone, even if not police, know she is safe.

Her family said: "We are very worried about our mum. She is greatly loved and a massive part of our lives.

"We want nothing more than to have our mum at home with us safe and well.

"If anyone has seen or knows where she is, please can you make contact with the police. Any information could help find her.”

Information can be provided by calling 101, giving the reference 6085/01DEC.
