POLICE are appealing for help to find a missing 58-year-old South Morang woman.

Police media Senior Constable Melissa Seach said Helen Michael had not been seen since leaving her Gabriel Terrace home about 12pm yesterday.

Sen-Constable Seach said Ms Michael’s family were concerned for her welfare as she suffered from a medical condition which needed medication.

“It is believed Helen may have left on foot as she left her car and personal belongings including her mobile phone and purse at home,” Sen-Constable Seach said.

She said Ms Michael was described as caucasian and 150cm tall with a solid build and short grey hair.

“It is believed she may be wearing a purple hooded top with track suit pants and runners,” she said.

Anyone who sees Ms Michael is urged to immediately call 000.
