Police in Barnet are becoming increasingly concerned for the safety of a 47-year-old Finchley woman who has been missing since last Monday.

Erika Newson was last seen by her husband at her home in Princes Avenue when he left for work. Erika called him from her mobile phone at around 8pm that evening, saying she was waiting to catch a number 17 bus home somewhere in the Archway area. She did not return home.

Erika was born in Hungary but has a German passport and has lived in the UK for less than a year.

She does not speak fluent English. She is approx 5ft 4ins tall with scars on her neck from previous surgery.

Erica is believed to have been wearing black jogging bottoms, a black polo neck jumper and a white, anorak-style jacket.
