Concern is growing for 70-year-old woman who has not been seen since early this afternoon. Margaret Steel was last seen outside her home address in Winlaton just before 12.30pm today (Friday).

However, she has not been heard from since, and police and Margaret’s family are growing increasingly concerned for her whereabouts. Margaret is described as a white woman, about 5ft tall, with blonde hair which is darker on top. Margaret is described as being of very slim build – which is not fully reflected in the photograph.

It is believed Margaret is travelling in a black Toyota Yaris with the registration ND62LKV and officers are also asking anyone who may have seen this vehicle to also get in touch.

Margaret, or anyone with information on where she might be, should send Northumbria Police a direct message on social media or use the live chat or report forms on the Force website. For those unable to make contact via those ways, call 101. Please quote reference NP-20250627-0932.
