POLICE are 'seriously concerned' for the welfare of a Scottish woman who has vanished from a children's holiday park on the Isle of Wight.
Officers have sparked a huge search for Rosie Johnson, 22, who has disappeared with no phone or cash with her from the Little Canada PGL Adventure in Wootton.
Rosie, a Field Studies instructor at PGL Travel who is from Glasgow, has been missing since Sunday evening.
A major land, sea, and air search is underway, with police urging local residents to check any sheds, outbuildings or boats for any sign of the Glasgow University graduate.
The 22-year-old, who is the niece of Edinburgh Southern MSP Daniel Johnson, is described as having mousey brown hair and is of slim build, and was last seen wearing a dark blue puffa jacket and trousers.
Mr Johnson tweeted: "My niece, Rosie, is missing.

Inspector Andy McDonald of Hampshire Constabulary, said: “We have serious concerns for Rosie’s welfare. Information suggests she is still on the island so this is where we are focussing our search. However, we would ask anyone with any information about her whereabouts to contact us as soon as possible.
“I would like to repeat our request for members of the Wootton community and surrounding areas to check any sheds, outbuildings or boats. Please carry out a thorough search and call us on 101 if you think you see or find anything that could assist our search.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
