Owami Davies: ‘Check sheds’ for missing student nurse in Croydon, police say

People in West Croydon have been asked to check their sheds for any sign of a missing student nurse who has not been seen for three weeks.

Police are extremely concerned about Owami Davies, 24, from Grays, Essex, who was in a “vulnerable state” when she was last seen.

Ms Davies left her family home on Monday, July 4, and was last seen just after midnight in Derby Road, West Croydon, on Thursday, July 7.

Her family have not heard from her and she has not turned up to work.

Detectives investigating her disappearance are extremely concerned for her welfare.

Officers would like to hear from anyone who may have seen her on the night of Wednesday, July 6, or the early hours of the next day.

DC Marie Spear, from the missing persons unit in south London, said: "We are currently treating this as a missing person investigation.

“Owami was in a vulnerable state when she was last seen and we need the public’s help in piecing together her movements on the night she went missing.

"I would urge anyone who has seen her, or knows where she is, to contact police immediately.

“I’d also ask people in the West Croydon area to check their sheds and outbuildings and report anything suspicious or out of the ordinary."

Anyone with information about Owami’s whereabouts is asked to call police on 101 or tweet @MetCC quoting reference 22MIS025307.
