COPS have launched an urgent hunt for a missing woman who vanished after travelling more than 200 miles to a popular coastal town.
Concerns are growing for Sheherazade Van Der Zijden, 51, who disappeared from her home in Surrey four days ago.
Sheherazade was reported missing after she was last seen on January 15.
The 51-year-old then travelled more than 200 miles from London to Cornwall by train the following day.
After arriving in the coastal county, she boarded a First Cornwall Bus at Hayle Viaduct at 12:37pm.
Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed the bus arrived at North Cliffs, near Hayle, less than half an hour later.
Her belongings were later discovered near the cliff edge, but Sheherazade has not been seen since – sparking major concerns.
The force said: “Police are concerned for the welfare of Sheherazade Van Der Zijden….
“… a 51 year old woman, who was last seen at her home address in Surrey on Thursday 15th January 2026.
