There is growing concern for the welfare of a 29‑year‑old woman who was last seen in Cornwall more than a month ago.

Police say they are “increasingly concerned” for Holly Collinson, whose last confirmed sighting was at the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro on March 31.

Holly, from Leicestershire, was reported missing by her family on Friday, April 10, but enquiries have revealed she had travelled to Cornwall before her disappearance, spending time in the Newquay area.

She is described as a white female, 5ft 7ins, of slim build, with blue eyes. Police say Holly’s appearance may have changed in recent weeks. She previously had long black, pink, red and plum‑coloured dreadlocks, but when she was last seen she had straight dark hair, with the upper half dyed plum to red and the lower half darker, falling below her shoulders.

At the time she was seen, Holly was wearing a black coat, black trousers, and a short‑sleeve black Adidas shirt.

Police say Holly has known links to Bude, Newquay and Truro, and may have travelled between these areas.

A spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police said: “We are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of a 29‑year‑old missing woman who was last seen in Cornwall.

“Anybody who has seen Holly or knows of her whereabouts is asked to call 999 quoting log 733 of 1 May.”
