DI Chris Greenstreet of the Major Crime Unit said: "We have had a really positive response from members of the public to our appeal for information and I would like to thank all those who have been in touch and to volunteers who have assisted with searches.

"It is still really important we speak to anyone, yet to come forward, who may have fixed CCTV or dash cam footage within a five mile radius of New Ash Green.

"Your cameras may contain images or footage with crucial information.

"I’d also like to remind residents, businesses and landowners in and around New Ash Green to check their gardens, outhouses, and any other areas surrounding their properties.

"If you think you may have seen Sarah or anything which may have appeared suspicious, please do not hesitate to call us."
