The urgent search for a woman last seen at Notting Hill Carnival at the weekend has been called off after she was found in a hospital.
Patricia Araujo’s aunt Claudia Sousa said last night her younger relative had been admitted to Surrey County Hospital in Guildford after being spotted by a member of the public.
The missing woman’s concerned family had called in police and made social media appeals for help after a last sighting of her on Monday.
The 26-year-old Portuguese migrant, a hotel receptionist in Ashford, Kent, was pictured the previous day dancing at the famous three-day London festival.
Two police forces, Kent Police and the Met Police, had been searching for her.
Claudia, 41, had admitted earlier today: ‘We are beside ourselves with worry. We are concerned someone could be holding her against her will.’
She said this evening: ‘We have just been told Patricia has been located and she is in hospital.
‘We would like to thank everyone for their concern and for helping us by responding to the appeals we’ve made.’
