Police in Cardiff are continuing to investigate the disappearance of Charlene Hobbs, 35, who has not been seen for nearly six months.

They are now appealing to people living in Splott and Roath to help with these searches by checking their outbuildings and empty properties.
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Powell, from South Wales Police, said: “As part of this ongoing search, I am urging anybody who lives in the Splott and Roath areas to please check their empty properties, or any sheds or outbuildings they own, where Charlene may have taken shelter and contact us immediately if they have any information that could us help us find her.
“There are several possible explanations for Charlene’s disappearance, and we are keeping an open mind as we do all we can to establish what has happened to her.
