Sergeant Hesketh said: “I ask that anyone connected to retail staff and security in Preston ensure store managers and other staff members are made aware of this woman, and keep her picture in a staff area in case she is seen so that we can be contacted.

“Lyndsey, I appeal to you directly – these matters won’t go away until we have spoken to you and officers will continue to look for you until we find you. Hand yourself in to Preston Police Station.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800555111.
