A 50-year-old woman who disappeared from home in little more than a nightdress has been found.

Joy Grigg was reported missing from her home in Tregeare, near Launceston, Cornwall, on Wednesday and police feared she may have been sleepwalking. Officers said her disappearance was completely out of character and was causing great concern.

However, she has now been found safe and well near Camelford.

Chief Inspector Shaun Kenneally said: “There was a great amount of support offered by volunteer agencies and the public in the search for Joy. I’d like to particularly thank farmers in the area who took the time to search their land as part of the effort.” (AP)
