The Office and Pirates of the Caribbean star Mackenzie Crook has made an appeal for help to find his missing sister-in-law in West Sussex.

62-year-old Laurel Aldridge was last seen leaving her home in Walberton near Arundel on 14 February.

Mr Crook said the disappearance of his sister-in-law, who is undergoing chemotherapy, was "very out of character".

Sussex Police said it may have information which could place her last known location, and to reach this destination Mrs Aldridge may have crossed busy roads including the A27 and A29.

Detective Sergeant Alan Fenn said: "We are continuing to pursue multiple lines of enquiry and would thank any members of the public who have provided information to us so far.

"I am urging people who were driving in this area or near to this area to review their dashcam footage to see if there is anyone who matches Laurel's description.

"We have a dedicated officer who is in contact with Laurel's family and will continue to support them throughout this investigation."

Drivers are asked to report to Sussex Police online or via 101 if there is someone who matches Laurel's description in their footage.

She was last seen wearing a turquoise fleece, a maroon tartan scarf and brown hat. She also had a grey puffer jacket with her which she is likely to have been wearing.
