A team of police divers in Lancashire are searching for a 24-year-old woman who has been missing for five days.
Shannon Canning, was last seen in the early hours of Friday 19 May when she left her home address in Keswick Court, Lancaster.
She was due to open the Tipple bar – where she works – in the city centre that afternoon, but did not arrive.
She has not been in contact with any of her family or friends since leaving home, police said.
Divers from the North West Underwater Search Unit are now searching the area, assisted by the fire and rescue service and area search team.
Police presence particularly in the city centre and around the Ridge estate has also been increased.
“We are becoming increasingly concerned about her as this is out of character,” police said in a fresh appeal.
“This is a missing from home enquiry currently but all lines of enquiry, including searches of specific addresses, speaking to members of the public, studying CCTV footage and digital enquiries, are being carried out.
“Anyone who thinks they might have seen Shannon since the early hours of Friday 19 May, or who have information which they feel could assist us in finding her, are urged to contact police.”
