Police are becoming increasingly concerned over a vulnerable 27-year-old woman who has not been seen since she contacted them.

Zeinab Hendricks contacted police at 5.40pm on Monday from Tesco in Morning Lane, Hackney Central requesting assistance.

Officers attended but she could not be found.

Enquiries have revealed that she also attended Homerton Hospital the same day but has not been seen since.

Zeinab is Iranian, five feet four inches tall and of slim build.

She is known to frequent Hackney.

Anyone with information about her is asked to call police on the non-emergency number 101 and request Hackney CID.
