Police have renewed their appeals to help find a Lancaster woman who has been missing since Friday.
Extra resources, including a dedicated investigation team, search and rescue, divers, and the fire service, have been bought in to assist with the search for Shannon Canning who is missing in Lancaster.
Shannon, 24, hasn’t been seen since the early hours of Friday morning (May 19) when she left her home address in Keswick Court, Lancaster.
Police say they are becoming increasingly concerned about her as this is out of character.
Shannon didn’t arrive for work at Tipple bar in Lancaster city centre, where she was due to open up the bar, on the afternoon of May 19.
She hasn’t been in contact with any of her friends and family since leaving her home.
Now, the force have a dedicated search and investigation team in place who are working alongside partners from other agencies to find Shannon as quickly as possible.
Residents will see an increased presence of police officers and specialist resources in Lancaster as we search for Shannon, in particular around the Ridge estate and city centre.
A number of premises will be secured as they continue to piece together Shannon’s movements.
Divers from the North West Underwater Search Unit will be searching in the area, while the Lancaster Area Search and Rescue team and the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service are assisting with land and water searches.
This is a missing from home enquiry currently but all lines of enquiry, including searches of specific addresses, speaking to members of the public, studying CCTV footage and digital enquiries, are being carried out.
Anyone who thinks they might have seen Shannon since the early hours of Friday, May 19, or who have information which they feel could help with finding her, are urged to contact police.
For immediate sightings, please call 999. Any other information, please contact 101 – quoting log 0078 of May 20, 2023.
Shannon is described as 5'2, of slim build with auburn/brown shoulder length hair and tattoos on her stomach, neck and arms.
It is believed she was wearing a light blue vest crop top, a hoodie, pants, and white Nike trainers when she was last seen.
