POLICE have released CCTV footage which could show a missing woman running for a bus.

Fatima Mohamed-Ali has been missing from her Newhaven home for almost two years, but footage which has come to light recently may show her travelling in North Street, Brighton.

Fatima was aged 52 when she went missing in February 2016.

A mother-of-three, it was said to be out of character for her to go missing.

She was last seen by her husband, Mohamed, who she made breakfast for on the morning of February 12, 2016. He left the house, and when he returned later, she was gone.

Fatima has not been seen by her family since.

Mohamed said: “I have viewed the CCTV and although I cannot say that it is Fatima, the woman walks like her and has her type of hair style.

“It has been nearly two years since she went missing and maybe this video will jog someone’s memory.

“My family and I just want to know what has happened to Fatima and where she is.

“If anyone has any information about Fatima please contact the police.”

An acquaintance of Fatima believes the woman in the footage is the missing grandmother.

The CCTV clip is from August 7 last year, at around 6pm.

PC Kath Nevill, of Sussex Police, said: “The CCTV footage, from last summer, has only recently come to light and we are issuing it to see if we can establish whether it is her or not.

“The woman who knew Fatima says she thinks she saw her running for a bus.

“Extensive enquiries were carried out in the area and CCTV cameras from a nearby bank in North Street captured a woman running for a Brighton and Hove bus just before 6pm on Monday, August 7, 2017.

“Fatima’s family has seen the footage and for their sake it would be good to establish if it isn’t her. If someone does remember a woman matching the description of Fatima in North Street getting on a bus or if they have any information of her whereabouts, please let us know.

“Her family are still desperate to hear any news or about any sightings of her. They need answers to the many questions they have.”

Anyone with information should call Sussex Police on 101 quoting Operation Accelerate, and if anyone sees her, they should call 999 immediately.
