A care home resident who was missing since Sunday has been found safe and well.

Maria Santos-Gouveia, 69, was last seen at around 7.45am on Sunday, November 27, at the home in Eversley Road, Upper Norwood.

Police had grown increasingly concerned about the whereabouts of the woman, who suffers from a number of medical issues, including diabetes.

But they confirmed she had been found in Lambeth this morning.

They thanked the public for its assistance.
