POLICE say a teenager who disappeared during Storm Emma may have visited Rochdale.
Lucy Duncan, 19, who is from Swansea in Wales, went missing on Thursday.
She was last seen driving away from her home in Horton, Swansea, at about 11.55am, just before a Met Office red weather warning was issued.
Officers said she withdrew money from HSBC in Swansea about an hour later.
Lucy’s car, a 14-plate Volkswagen Take Up, was last seen in the Hereford area at about 3pm the same day.
She had earlier travelled on the A465 through Hirwaun and Brynmawr.
