POLICE searching for missing Colleen Jarvis have found a woman’s body.

The 55-year-old was last seen leaving her home in Burlington Avenue, York at around 12.15pm on Thursday, May 26.

Police renewed their appeal for information yesterday, saying that Ms Jarvis may have travelled to areas around York, including Malton.

Ms Jarvis’s family also urged her to get in touch, saying: "We are so worried about you. Just let us know you’re ok. We love you and miss you."

However, officers were called to reports of a woman’s body in a remote location in York just before 8pm last night.

The scene has been secured and, although a formal identification has yet to take place, Ms Jarvis’s family has been informed.

Investigations are currently taking place but police do not believe there are any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
