A body has been found in the search for missing woman Paula Elliott, police have said.
Officers confirmed that the body of a woman was recovered from the River Lagan in Lisburn on Monday.
Formal identification is yet to take place, but police have notified the family of the 52-year-old, who was reported missing on Tuesday, March 5.
A post-mortem will take place in due course.
Described as a high-risk missing person, Ms Elliott was last seen on CCTV cameras leaving the Sprucefield Court area of Lisburn, Co Antrim, at 5.30pm on the evening of March 5.
A PSNI spokesperson said Ms Elliott then made her way to Warren Gardens at around 5.36pm.
From Warren Gardens, she was seen travelling along the Hillsborough Road at 5.39pm, driving a red Citroen C4 car, which was found a short time later parked near the Lagan Towpath.
