Karen Harvey (pictured) was last seen at around 6am on East Clyde Street at the junction with Station Road, Helensburgh, and heading in the direction of Hermitage Academy towards Cardross.

“If you think you have seen her in the area or have any information that can assist us please contact us on 101.
