Police search for mother-of-three, 38, after she went missing in her exercise gear after last being spotted at a Cheshire petrol station

Police have launched an urgent hunt for a missing woman who was last seen wearing exercise gear in the early hours of the morning at a petrol station.

Rachel Booth, 38, was reported missing on Saturday July 19 after last being seen in the Barnton area of Northwich, Cheshire.

She was later seen on CCTV walking around Sandiway Garage, along the A556 in Northwich, at 3.50am on Saturday.

Officers are currently searching a popular Cheshire beauty spot in Oakmere, while nearby water park Wild Shore Delamare has also been shut down.

The company said it has closed due to ‘ongoing police investigations in the surrounding area’, but insists the incident is ‘unrelated’ to them.

Rachel is described as being 5ft 9in tall, of a slim build and with blonde hair. 

CCTV shows her wearing black leggings, a black vest and trainers at the time she vanished, with a phone visible on her outer thigh, suggesting she could have been on a run.

Friends and members of the public have shared a police appeal to find her far and wide – with one man who ‘grew up around the corner’ from her posting: ‘She is honestly one of the nicest people you could meet.’

Another described her as a mother-of-three with ‘three gorgeous boys and a ‘loving husband’.

A Cheshire beauty salon also posted photos of Rachel, saying she is a ‘client’ of theirs.  Liz Almond Aesthetics, an aesthetics practitioner at Beyond Beauty Group in Nantwich, said: ‘This lady is a client of ours. Share as much as you can and get her home safe.’

Inspector James Wilson, of Cheshire Constabulary, said: ‘We are currently conducting a number of enquiries to trace Rachel and we are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare.

‘Anyone who has seen Rachel since she was reported missing is asked to contact us. The same goes for anyone who has any information on her whereabouts.

‘We would also like to appeal directly to Rachel to get in touch to let us know you are OK.

‘You can report information to Cheshire Police via 101 or through www.cheshire.police.uk/tell-us quoting IML-2136439.’ 

Wild Shore Delamere said: ‘Due to ongoing police investigations in the surrounding area, Wildshore Delamere will remain closed tomorrow, Sunday, July 20th.

‘We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

‘The incident is unrelated to Wild Shore – however, we wish to help as much as possible – so we will be closing the site until further notice.

‘If your booking is affected by this closure, please contact our customer services team.
