Police have increased the size of the team searching for missing woman Sonam Shelar.
Sonam, who is five months pregnant, was last seen at 8.30am on Cashmere Avenue, Khandallah, on Saturday 17 November.
We have real concerns for her safety and need people to keep an eye out for her. It's been another cold night out there and our concerns are mounting.
We now have uniformed and Criminal Investigation Branch teams completing door knocks in the wider Khandallah area and we will continue to speak to people today.
Sonam is 26 years old, of slender build, and approximately 165cm tall.
When last seen she was wearing a brown jacket with fur on the hood, as well as white, black and orange trainers, which are featured in the attached photos.
If anyone sees Sonam, or has information that might help find her, please dial 111 immediately.
