PC Nicola Fisher of Giffnock Police Office said: “April has been missing before, but usually returns within a couple of hours, so given the time that has passed we are becoming increasingly concerned for her safety.

“Enquiries and searches are ongoing to trace April and we would urge anyone with any information on her whereabouts to contact Giffnock Police Office through 101 quoting reference number 1481 of 21st November.”
