Missing Woman, Who Disappeared in August, Is Seen in Newly Released CCTV Footage: ‘Police Are Concerned for Her Welfare’

Authorities have released CCTV footage of a woman who has been missing since last month.

On Friday, Sept. 19, Cumbria Police announced on Facebook that they are continuing their investigation into the whereabouts of Alexandra Harrod, 47.

Harrod was last seen in public visiting shops in both Workington and Whitehaven in England on the morning of Sept. 2 — three days after she was reported missing.

At around 11:20 a.m. local time that day, CCTV footage captured her in a coffee shop on King Street in Whitehaven. In the footage released by police, Harrod can be seen with cropped hair, walking into the shop and stopping to view the menu.

Police have not said whether there have been any other sightings of Harrod since.

Harrod, who also goes by Alex, has short hair, according to Cumbria Police. She was last seen wearing dark-colored tracksuit pants, a dark-colored padded jacket, and carrying a dark-colored rucksack.

“Police are concerned for her welfare,” Cumbria Police said in a statement. “[Authorities] are also appealing to any wider family members or friends, who have not yet been in touch, to contact them.”

According to an earlier post by Cumbria Police shared on social media, Harrod was last seen in the Seaton area on Aug. 30.

Seaton in southern England is over 364 miles away from Whitehaven in northern England, where Harrod appeared three days later.

One person commented on the police’s initial post saying Harrod had been their “neighbor.” They added that there were several “search and rescue” vehicles in the Seaton area around the time of her disappearance.

Police are asking anyone with information about Harrod’s whereabouts to contact them.
