A search was launched for a missing woman police said "may be carrying a sword" in London with officers warning not to approach her.

The Metropolitan Police issued an appeal to help find Sana, 37, who went missing from her home in Penge at around 4.45pm on Friday.

She was last seen wearing green camouflage clothing and carrying a large camouflage rucksack.

Officers said they were concerned for her welfare and urgently need to trace her, until they issued an update this afternoon saying she has been found.

The Met Police said: "We are pleased to report that Sana, who was reported missing from #Penge last night, has been found. Thanks to those who shared our appeal."

A police statement from yesterday read: "Police are appealing for help to trace Sana, 37, who is missing from Penge. Sana left her address at around 16:45hrs today and may be in possession of a sword.

"She was last seen wearing green camouflage clothing and carrying a large camouflage rucksack. Officers have concern for Sana’s welfare and urgently need to trace her. If seen do not approach Sana but dial 999 immediately."

The appeal was also shared on the Twitter account of Bromley Borough MPS alongside a message, reading: "Sana, 37, is missing from #Penge. She may be travelling to west London - if seen, do not approach, but pls call 999 immediately."
