UPDATE: locations of interest in ongoing search for missing Christchurch woman

Christchurch Police are urgently asking for the public's assistance in relation to missing woman Shirley Warrington.

We now have reason to believe she may be in the Ferrymead, Heathcote, or Horotane Valley Road areas and are asking residents in these areas to check their properties including bushes, outbuildings, and tree lines.

Search and Rescue teams will be deployed in the area this afternoon to search public areas but the public's assistance is sought to search residential properties as soon as possible.

Shirley may be disorientated and confused, and is not dressed for the cold weather.

Anyone who has any information is asked to call 111 and quote event number P047149632.
