Last known images of missing sex worker

The CCTV images of missing 31-year-old Shelley Armitage were taken on Monday April 26 when she was last seen and are the last known footage of her.

Bradford Police are today continuing enquiries into the disappearance of the sex worker from Bentcliffe Walk, Allerton and have been speaking to friends, family and neighbours.

Officers have also been conducting detailed searches of Bell Dean Road in Bradford for clues to the 31-year-old's disappearance, and enquiries in Huddersfield where she worked for a time last year.

Police now know that Shelley left her flat at about 7pm on Monday with a friend and had food on City Road before moving towards Sunbridge Road and Rebecca Street.

Shelley is described as white, wearing a long grey cardigan and skinny dark coloured jeans, white sandals and carrying a bag. She has long brown hair and also has a slim build.

Detective Superintendent Sukhbir Singh of the Homicide and Major Enquiries Team, who is leading the investigation, said he was growing increasing concerned for Shelley?s welfare.

He said: "It is now two weeks since Shelley was last seen and both Police and Shelley's family are seriously concerned for her welfare.

"We know she has health issues with drink and drugs and she has also failed to claim her benefits or use her mobile phone."

He added: "She is a much loved daughter, girlfriend and friend and it is completely out of character for her to simply disappear like this. She has also recently bought a puppy which she adores and hates to be parted from for long, making this disappear all the more unusual.

"I would appeal to anyone who has information about Shelley or Shelley herself to contact us as soon as possible.

"I can reassure anyone who does have information and wants to get in touch that their information will be treated sensitively and discreetly."

Anyone who does have information about Shelley or her whereabouts should contact West Yorkshire Police on 0845 60 60 606 or CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111.

Information can also be sent via text to SHELLEY on 07786200805.
