Police are asking for the public’s help in the search for a Christchurch woman who failed to return from her daily walk.

In a statement they said Stacey left her Redgrave St home in Hoon Hay on Monday between 8am and 9am, but family and friends became concerned when they didn’t hear from her and couldn’t find her.

“Her walks are typically no longer than two hours.”

Stacey’s family said this behaviour was “out of character” for her, and they were concerned for her welfare.

Police on Tuesday afternoon appealed to Stacey directly: “If you see this message, please contact your family or police to let somebody know you are safe. Your family is extremely worried about you and wants to know that you are okay.”

They asked anyone who had seen her, knew where she was or had CCTV or dashcam footage to contact police on the 105 non-emergency line, using file number 260915/7708.

Information can be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
