Police involved in a major search for a missing walker on the Carmarthenshire coast are looking for a person flying a drone in the area when she disappeared.

Susan Smith was last seen at 13:30 GMT on Saturday near the Carmarthen Bay Holiday Village in Kidwelly.

Five Coastguard teams, a helicopter, RNLI lifeboats and a mountain rescue team are helping Dyfed-Powys Police with the search for Ms Smith.

Officers want a person flying a drone in the area on Saturday to call them.

"We have been made aware that someone was flying a drone in the area and we would ask that person to contact police as soon as possible," said Sgt Jess Jones.

Officers said Ms Smith - who is described as about 5ft 2ins tall, petite and with blonde hair - was known to walk along the beach to St Ishmaels and Ferryside.

Police believe she was wearing black jeans, a black fleece and navy and grey walking boots when she was last seen on Saturday afternoon.
