Police "increasingly concerned" for the welfare of a woman missing from South Yorkshire for more than a month have released CCTV footage of her last confirmed sighting:

Alena Grlakova was last seen in the Travellers Inn, Parkgate, in Rotherham on Boxing Day last year.

She left the pub just before 19:00.

She is described as slim, with blonde shoulder-length hair and tattoos on her hands.

In the CCTV she's wearing a black long-sleeved top and black trousers with a white stripe down the side, and hair extensions.

Supt Iain Chorlton of Rotherham District said: “We are very concerned for Alena’s welfare.

“The last confirmed sighting we have is from the Travellers Inn, where she only stayed a short amount of time, but we don’t know where she went from there.

“If you know Alena, and have seen her since Boxing Day, please get in touch.

"We would also like to hear from the man who appears to join Alena at her table, it's hoped she may have mentioned where she was planning to go, or he may have seen the direction she travelled after she left."
