Police search for missing Milton woman

Police and search and rescue volunteers are searching for a 45-year-old Milton woman, after her utility vehicle was found abandoned down a slight bank on Bull Creek Rd about 4pm yesterday.

Sergeant Martin Bull, of Balclutha, said last night there were concerns for the woman's safety, as she was not dressed for a night outside in the cold and wet, did not have any food or water, and was "not in the best state of mind".

About 12 volunteers planned to keep searching over the steep bush and open farm land until they had exhausted all options, he said.
