Searches are ongoing for a missing Brecon pensioner, with the police helicopter and mountain rescue crews involved.

Rita, whose surname has not been released by police, was last seen at 10.20am on Saturday, February 26.

Police said she may be wearing a fleece jumper with a leaf design and is thought to be travelling on foot.

Search teams from Dyfed-Powys Police, Brecon Mountain Rescue, Mid and West Wales Fire Service and the National Police Air Service have searched Brecon and the surrounding area since the report was received.

Inspector Brian Jones, who is leading the operation, said: "The search is continuing today, and we are asking local residents to check their outbuildings, such as garages and sheds, in case Rita has sought shelter."

He also asked the public to check any source of video imagery they may have, such as private CCTV cameras, ring video doorbells, GoPros, or Dash cam footage, that could help locate Rita's whereabouts.

Inspector Jones added: ”We are supporting Rita’s family with specially trained officers during this very difficult time and are appealing for anyone with any information to come forward.”
