COPS have been spotted searching a popular park in a desperate hunt for a mum who mysteriously disappeared while visiting Morrisons.
Concerns are growing for missing Charlene Hobbs, 36, who is feared murdered after she vanished from the supermarket last July.
Charlene, from Cardiff, vanished after a trip to Morrisons, with CCTV from the store capturing her on July 23 last year.
But the last confirmed sighting of the missing mum was at a property in Cardiff, South Wales, the following day.
A mobile phone photograph shows Charlene at an address in Broadway, Adamsdown, just after 6am the following day.
Over the weekend, South Wales Police were spotted combing through the popular Moorland Gardens in nearby Splott.
The force has since confirmed the searches are connected to Charlene’s mysterious disappearance.
A spokesperson said: “Police officers are searching the area as part of an on-going investigation into the disappearance of Charlene Hobbs.“
Cops said Charlene has a distinctive dragon tattoo on her back which the public have been asked to look out for.
Two men, aged 45 and 43, and a 38-year-old woman, were arrested in connection with the investigation, but were later released on bail.
The 45-year-old man, now aged 46, was re-arrested by South Wales Police and once again released on bail as the hunt for Charlene continued.
A reward of up to £20,000 for information on the disappearance of Charlene is being offered up by the charity Crimestoppers.
So far, the investigation into Charlene’s disappearance has included ten media appeals and 400 people linked to the probe have been spoken to.
More than 600 properties have been visited, with more than 1,000 hours of CCTV reviewed and 3,300 documents recorded.
