On Sunday, October 8, the public toilets on Fort Road in Newhaven were cordoned off by police.

A spokesperson for Sussex Police said: “This was related to a search for a missing woman. She was later found safe elsewhere.”

The toilets were closed for several hours as part of a then ongoing search for missing woman.

PCSOs secured the scene and waited for forensic teams to arrive, and she was later found safe in a different location.
