A 30-year-old Ottawa woman missing since Aug. 18 has been found safe and sound after an extensive community and police search.

She was last seen around 9:45 a.m. last Thursday in the 1100 block of Carling Avenue, near The Ottawa Hospital's Civic campus.

On Monday, dozens of volunteers fanned out across Ottawa to search for her. Police tweeted Tuesday evening that she'd been found.

Earlier Tuesday organizers announced they were calling off the ground search, and wouldn't be forming any new search parties after talking with police.

Police thanked people in the public who helped with the search.
