A police helicopter has been called in to help search for a missing elderly woman.

The woman, aged 92, from Ashford, was reported missing by a relative earlier this morning.

A helicopter was later called to assist with the search and was spotted hovering over Ashford town centre just before 1pm.

A Kent police spokesman said: "She told her daughter she was going for a walk.

"We received a call from a member of the family to say they are concerned."

Anyone with information to assist the police with their search can call the non-emergency number on 101.
