Video camera doorbells and dash cam footage could hold the clues to finding missing 96-year-old, police say

Doorbells with video cameras could hold the clues to finding a 96-year-old woman who's been missing since Saturday, police say.

The pensioner, named by police as only Rita, was last seen in Brecon at 10.20am on Saturday, February 26.

An "extensive" multi-agency search in the Brecon area has continued on Monday with the search team from Dyfed-Powys Police, Brecon Mountain Rescue, Mid & West Wales Fire Service and the National Police Air Service.

The man in charge of the search operation has asked people to check their garden sheds and Ring doorbells in case they offer clues as to Rita's whereabouts.

Inspector Brian Jones said: “The search is continuing today and we are asking residents to check their outbuildings, such as garages and sheds, in case Rita has sought shelter.

"We are also asking the public to check and review their private CCTV cameras, Ring doorbells, GoPros, dash-cams or any other source of video that may capture Rita in the Brecon area on Saturday."

Rita is thought to be wearing a fleece jumper with a leaf design and travelling on foot. Her family are being supported by specially trained officers.

Dyfed-Powys Police is appealing for anyone with information to come forward and. contact them via their website, in an email (101@dyfed-powys.police.uk) or by calling 101.
