Police searching for a missing nurse from Essex say they've carried out 'extensive enquiries' - going door-to-door in an effort to find her.

24 year old Owami Davies, from Grays, hasn't been seen since the early hours of Thursday, 7 July as she walked along Derby Road in West Croydon.

A second unconfirmed sighting has also been reported on the same day in nearby Clarendon Road.

She'd left her family home three days earlier on Monday July 4.

Detective Chief Inspector Nigel Penney, who is leading the investigation, said: “The sheer scale of this inquiry shows how concerned we are for the safety of Owami."

"With every day that passes that concern only grows and our fear increases that she has come to harm.

"Although this is a missing person enquiry, this is one of the biggest investigations I have ever experienced and that reflects our determination to find Owami for her family.

“Owami has now been missing for over a month and her family are desperate for news. We are keeping them fully informed, but finding Owami is the only thing that will bring them any peace and for that we need the public’s help."

Five people have been arrested in connection with the case; two on suspicion of murder and three on suspicion of kidnap.

All have now been released on bail.
