POLICE have found a car following a search for a Southampton woman who has been missing for six months.
Officers scoured the western bank of the River Itchen as part of their hunt for missing Joanne Sheen.
They also spent August 5 and August 6 searching an area surrounding Empress Road, in the city's Bevois Valley.
Following their extensive investigations, officers recovered a "vehicle and several other items".
These have been sent for forensic analysis to determine whether they held any links to Joanne.
A police spokesperson said: "At this time, there is no information to suggest the items seized are linked to Joanne going missing.
"The searches concluded on August 6 and the investigation into her whereabouts is ongoing."
Anyone who has seen Joanne or knows where she might be is urged to call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, quoting Operation Blackboard or 44200068330.
